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

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!

add rtl its extremley painful to type in arabic here with plugins

Hey everyone,

I’m sure it will benefit many people around the 🌍

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.
