LTR to RTL in iOS Application [without closing Application]

Question

When changing language within the application I need to change the application layout as per selected language.

For example, the base language is English; when the user changes it to Arabic I need to change UI as per RTL.

Is there any specific setting in storyboard or in ViewController for achieving LTR and RTL?

To Manage RTL and LTR without closing application Swift 3.0.

//RTL

UIView.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft UINavigationBar.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceRightToLeft

//applicationNavigationController is Application Default Navigation Controller if let applicationNavigationController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "root") { UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = applicationNavigationController

LTR//

UIView.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceLeftToRight UINavigationBar.appearance().semanticContentAttribute = .forceLeftToRight if let applicationNavigationController = storyboard?.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "root") { UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController = applicationNavigationController

// Additional Tips while a deal with MMDrawer.

AppDelegate

var centerContainer:MMDrawerController?

Implement MMDrawer Code inside one ViewController.

let appdelegate=UIApplication.shared.delegate as! AppDelegate

    let mainStoryboard:UIStoryboard=UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle: nil)

    let centerViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "HomeViewController") as! HomeViewController
    let leftViewController = mainStoryboard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "LeftSideMenuViewController") as! LeftSideMenuViewController



    let leftSideNav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: leftViewController)
    let centerNav = UINavigationController(rootViewController: centerViewController)


    appdelegate.centerContainer = MMDrawerController(center: centerNav, leftDrawerViewController: leftSideNav)

    appdelegate.centerContainer?.maximumLeftDrawerWidth = 250.0


    appdelegate.centerContainer!.openDrawerGestureModeMask = MMOpenDrawerGestureMode.panningCenterView
    appdelegate.centerContainer!.closeDrawerGestureModeMask = MMCloseDrawerGestureMode.all

    //////////
    self.navigationController?.pushViewController(appdelegate.centerContainer!, animated: false)
