How do I build apps with RTL support?

Hey @vsammy! Unfortunately, I don't have any updates for you here. Are there particular parts of your apps that you're looking to have support Arabic/Hebrew language? Or are you looking specifically for complete support? At the moment the only solution I know of is to use custom CSS and individually target components by setting direction: rtl in their styling. Aside from this being considerable work if you have many different types of components, CSS classes aren't guaranteed between versions…

How do I build apps with RTL support?

Hi, I ran into the same issue and was able to solve it with this simple CSS workaround. input, textarea { text-align: start; unicode-bidi: plaintext; } Note that it automatically detects when the language is RTL only when the text starts with that language. For example, if it's a mix of English and Arabic and the English text comes first, it will display the text LTR but if it was vice versa, it will display the text RTL.
