The problem was the Arabic text was aligning as LTR instead of RTL. I asked Danny (developer of BTA Design Menu Plugin) and he gave me this awesome solution. I am sharing it someone else who had encounter this issue too. As a work around you can do this (but not all functionality regarding the Title and Description will remain, but you should try to see if it fits your needs): In BTA_cell_designMenu.h change every UICustomLabeldesignMenu in UILabel in BTA_cell_designMenu.m line 63 titleLabel = [[UICustomLabeldesignMenu alloc] init]; change to this titleLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; on line 102 descriptionLabel = [[UICustomLabeldesignMenu alloc] init]; change to this: descriptionLabel = [[UILabel alloc] init]; On line 96 titleLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail; add this line titleLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight; on line 106 descriptionLabel.lineBreakMode = NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail; add this line descriptionLabel.textAlignment = NSTextAlignmentRight; That did it for me. Thanks to Danny again. Best Regards, Adnan Title Comments I am designing my first app in Arabic. The problem was the Arabic text was aligning as LTR instead of RTL.

Line numbers may not be correct but just search for the code snippets. Some functionality may stop but in Adnan's case it was the right (code) change. @MrDavid and @Smugwimp thanks for the heads up!!
