That is great! But why not make it activated automatically just like how other languages works?

Hi @xxibadrxx , we will eventually make this activated automatically for RTL languages. We introduced this property for this time being just in case there are experiences that already pre-fixed the RTL text direction and we didn’t want to break these experiences. Please stay tuned and we will give another update when this feature gets fully released.

Finally, this is great, I can finally write in arabic without having to use the font Arial, and if I write english and arabic, I don’t need to do like this anymore when using rich text 
My Name <font family="Arial">أنا اسمي</font>
before, it would be like اسمي انا, but now it’s أنا اسمي

Hi @Dede_4242 , as we are reviewing the option to add a toggle for TextDirection for RTL text, do you think you could provide some examples where people would want to keep the paragraph in LTR even if it starts with an Arabic word? This will help us complete the feature correctly and efficiently. Thank you!

Like in:
“(Arabic word) means”
For example, or
“(Arabic word) the best restaurant in the world”
For a restaurant in Arabia
Those are just a few examples tho, ask me if you need more

There is another issue with the right-to-left (RTL) update in the Hebrew language. When typing a long sentence that spans multiple lines, if a symbol such as ?!@#<" or any other symbol is placed at the end of the sentence, the order of the lines is reversed. This reversal probably occurs because the system mistakenly interprets the text as left-to-right instead of the correct right-to-left orientation.
Here’s an illustrative example to further clarify the issue. When typing a sentence without any symbols at the end, the text is displayed correctly in the following order:
היי רק רציתי להגיד
שלום לכולם
However, when a symbol like ! is added at the end, the lines are mistakenly rearranged as follows:
!שלום לכולם
היי רק רציתי להגיד
Hi @sombolian , thanks for reporting this issue and adding to this feature! I suppose this issue is a duplicate to Right-to-left Text Support - #10 by 8xD4n. And we are working on a fix for this and hopefully it can be deployed soon. Please let me know if this is a different issue or if you notice any other issues. Thank you!

And more issue , when someone type “
שלום” so that doing “שלום ” like emoji back and not after words
Hi @Myoffice129 , just to make sure I understand it correctly - When you say you would like the emoji to be back and not after words, does it mean that you expect this to be on the left to the words or right? The paragraph direction changes depending on the first character of the paragraph so with the current behavior, שלום will probably have the emoji displayed on the left side(If the emoji is typed afterwards) since the whole paragraph will be right-to-left.

Hello CharlieGordonn!,
Like that doing “שלום ” not “ שלום”
Ill explain, if you where to put a symbol at the start of the sentance for exanple you wanted to say 4 apples in the basket, in hebrew you would say:
תפוחים בתוך הסל c 4
(Ignore the letter c because the issue is also on the dev forum for some reason but the number is the first character basically)
But in roblox the number goes all the way to the end of the sentance instead, so it would look like this:
תפוחים בתוך הסל 4
This issuss accurs with anything from numbers to emojis and such symbols.

I guess this makes sense if I understand correctly, in this example sentence, the number “4” was typed before all other Hebrew letters right?

I think yes, my hunch is that it doesn’t know what to do with numbers in that sentence so it shoves it were it would belong in English but in עברית (Hebrew)
It makes no sense

this is what’s expected:
and this is what comes up when you send it in the chat
and with emojis its the other way around if you put them at the end like this:
this is what comes up in the chat:
now as ive said before if you were to type a long sentence like this:
in the chat it does work properly as there are no symbols/numbers at the end of the sentence:
but if i were to put one like this:
the order of the lines suddenly become reversed:
all of these images were captured on notepad allthough it visualizes exactly how it is on the roblox chat

seems like theres a new update to the RTL in Hebrew, which fixed a lot of issues as I’ve mentioned before,
But for some reason that fix has brought a brand new issue:
On there for all someone use chat hebrew get like this, Only english are support for chat so. I think maybe to fix to right/left for people will can to see hebrew
