​AFFINE RTL Text Direction Support

Open ferasodh opened this issue 2 years ago • 13 comments

Description

AFFINE does not currently support RTL text direction. This makes it difficult to use for applications that need to display RTL text, such as Arabic, and Persian.

Use case

No response

Anything else?

Affine.pro could be used to create and edit RTL languages block of text. Currently, the text display for RTL languages is not correct.

Actually I can't use this fantastic app just because of not supporting RTL.

This feature is much needed. Even for Notion there is some 3rd party plugins that will fix the RTL problem. It would be a plus if you add this feature to AFFiNE.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to highlight that, according to W3C data, approximately 2.3 billion people around the world use Right-to-Left (RTL) languages. This represents a significant portion of the global population, making RTL support essential for ensuring accessibility and inclusivity for millions of users.

Tons of people out there can benefit from this accessibility feature. It's a bit odd that Affine still does not support this.

That would be a great update if RTL becomes an option and a feature. That would make much more users to use this fantastic app.

+1 It's a shame that such a great app doesn't support a feature as simple as RTL
