Right-to-left Text Support

This is extremely useful, especially for doing genre languages and stuff like that. Making me consider duolingo on roblox lol…. Anywho, appreciate it, as I remember talking about this in a topic a bit ago. : )

Hi @Dede_4242 , thank you for your feedback and your valuable request. Providing an option to manually toggle the text direction is a great idea that we should consider.

Thank you for huge update!
Anyway, there are a lot of bugs with that. As an example:

Language: Hebrew

Example 1:
The way it should be:
Good Order

However, adding an exclamation mark to the word “עולם” reverses the order.
Bad Order

Example 2:
This is a case of reversed numbers.

I really appreciate this update but will this fix also apply to Roblox? As loading screen and
Roblox App.

The text should be like this: الصيد البري [جديد]

Hi @8xD4n , thanks for reporting the issue! Just to make sure of the expected result - For the first one, should the exclamation mark be added to the end of second line like this?


For the second one, could you please provide the expected direction and format of the numbers please?
Thank you!

This should be written in exclamation case:
Exclamation Case
Note: this also happens with other symbols besides exclamations. The use of @, #, &, and so on…

In the case of reversed numbers, this should be written:

Hi @mharrb , thanks for your feedback! Yes, this change will also apply to Roblox as long as you have enabled the property RtlTextSupport for your experience. However, currently due to the property loading time for the loading screen, the title may need some time to refresh and display in a correct direction. When we finally enable this feature for all experiences (which means the RtlTextSupport property will finally get removed from the StarterGuiService), the loading screen will display correct text from the very beginning.
