Support for RTL languages

Feature Requests Engine Features
#1

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to support translations for languages written in Right to Left (RTL) where the text would display incorrectly (either by unsupported fonts or text displaying Left to Right in the UI)

I have submitted a bug report in the past, however I’ve been advised to create a feature request as well.

Supporting RTL languages would help developers easily translate their games into more languages which could potentially bring in a lot more players to the platform.

I can’t guarantee we’ll have a chance to work on this until we start looking to localize the whole platform to Arabic or other RTL languages unfortunately. As of this writing, we officially support English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
