Launched: Add support for RTL languages
Hello!
I wanted to report a problem with the text component
The component works great in all languages, but I noticed that in the Hebrew language (and probably also in Arabic) the order of the letters is reversed
This is a well-known problem in Hebrew because it needs RTL support
.redro esrever ni nettirw si txet elohw eht taht si ti gnitartsurf woh kniht tsuJ
(Just think how frustrating it is that the whole text is written in reverse.)
Another important thing to note is that we (speakers of RTL languages) are very aware of this problem, but designers who do not speak these languages often encounter this problem without noticing. For example, even in the familiar game - Brawl Stars (They corrected this after the post was published) and many others have problems with the Hebrew text displayed in the screenshots of the game in Google play
For the developers of Figma- I found great documentation for the implementation of RTL in SVG: Creating SVG Tiny Pages in Arabic, Hebrew and other Right-to-left scripts
I really like to design in Figma but it’s just awful to design with Hebrew text so please add RTL support
