First open your storyboard in XML (Source code) then

Search for leading (in Constraints) and replace it with left and same
Search for trailing (in Constraints) and replace it with right

second options is use semantic property

if you doing with label text then here is my question

Combine Two Language Text RTL & LTR

Hope it is helpful to you

@Muhammed pls have a look https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19971508/difference-between-nslayoutattributeleft-vs-nslayoutattributeleading – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:11
Yea but i think that will change the whole layout not a specific view ? – Muhammed Mar 12 '18 at 05:12
@Muhammed Yes if you need for image then just change for imageview only – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:13
BTW your page has just mapview which should have any much effect with this change – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:14
yea but i will make this change in multiple view controllers – Muhammed Mar 12 '18 at 05:16

@Muhammed If you see `` in your xml file where you can identify your view controller there – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:19

this is my imageView constraints in storyboard as a source code – Muhammed Mar 12 '18 at 05:22
@Muhammed follow the steps 1) find imageview like `` now if you see `id="oqr-sL-AZw"` – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:46
@Muhammed step2) Now search that `"oqr-sL-AZw"` where you can in constraint and change leading to left – Prashant Tukadiya Mar 12 '18 at 05:47

If using auto layout constraints:

1- Double Trailing or Leading constraint of the view

2- Click "First Item" drop down menu

3- Uncheck "Respect language direction"

4- You might need to do step 2 and 3 for "Second Item" as well.

You need to do this for all views with Trailing and Leading constraints to replace them with right and left constraints.
