Is there any chance to see RTL support on Beta?

In Arabic and most west Asia countries, text align is left to right, Figma already have both align but when i want use of justify paragraph, i just can use of left to right text and justify is useless for Arabic and other right to left languages!
I think the solution is just a select box to add left, right or center justify for the last line of a justified paragraph!

Hey everyone,

Thank you all for your feedback and patience here. We want to continue supporting our global community and are excited to share that Figma and FigJam now support all right-to-left (RTL) text, including Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu. Visit our Help Center to learn more.

You can also read more about this and our other efforts in making Figma a more global company in our blog post here.

That’s amazing to support RTL languages in Figma, is there any feature to mirror the layout for all pages one time? or any plugins to do this task with one click? Thanks.

Plugin Update : Flip UI - Make It RTL (https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1444853673364696941/flip-ui-make-it-rtl)

hey guys, hope figma will come up with what we need. In the mean time i have crated a plugin that might help you guys to automate some crucial functions while converting your LTR designs to RTL, and saves 90% of your time. Please go through the link and and check it out, and share your comment (note: It won’t translate, but will do the even more heavy lift for you). If you feel its useful please share it with your friends and communities.

-- my way of showing love to the RTL languages 😍  --
