Could you guide us about how can we implement this feature , we have many open source projects that can get huge benefit from implementing the RTL Languages

How can I help you?

Yep! RTL is needed please... If you support for RTL languages, you will have a great new community in many other countries which use Persian, Arabic, Hebrew.... I tested all office suits in linux to have the most compatible suit with MS-Office. Believe me OnlyOffice is the best, but for RTL :-(

Believe me OnlyOffice is the best

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback. We understand that RTL is very important feature and hope to implement it in the near future.

For a great app this is a big disadvantage, please add RTL feature ASAP.

Please add RTL support.

This essential feature will help many languages including Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pashto and many more.

That said, without the support of RTL and other such essential features, claiming high fidelity with MS Office does not stand correct. Also, when comparing it with other tools in the same category, it talks about what ONLYOFFICE can do that others can't, but it does not mention anything the other way. This could be a good marketing strategy, but hiding lack of capabilities is not good for users that they would discover later.

I see OnlyOffice (testing Desktop version here) as so broken from text rendering standpoint and that is not just about supporting RTL, it seems OnlyOffice is not able to handle ligatures, which is first step toward supporting Arabic and also other non-RTL scripts characters joining thing,

So the first step would be fixing English ligatures(!) that which surprisingly will also fix much of RTL supporting issue if you get it correctly.

(Edit: probably I should have commented on https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors/issues/10 if this issue is not available on web version)

Hello Thanks for the nice website You promised an update on the issue of right to left in new update will be resolved, but still has problems :(

kiani37 avatar Apr 23 '17 08:04 kiani37

Hello @kiani37 We understand the importance of RTL languages implementation and have already included it in roadmap. But unfortunately we could not specify any time frames for it. We will inform you in our changelog as soon as right-to-left is supported.

JohnPerkin avatar Apr 24 '17 13:04 JohnPerkin

Hello @JohnPerkin Thank you for your quick reply this is the best office that I have ever used for Linux, which is even better than MS Office, Liberoffice ( Collabora Online) I appreciate it if this change happens as soon as possible. Thanks a lot...

Is there any updates about RTL support in the near future?

ArMikael avatar Jul 10 '17 15:07 ArMikael

@ONLYOFFICE, FYI to add bidi-directional support (LTR, RTL and mixed) in Web interface is as simple to add to element dir=auto.

@laukstein: FYI to add bidi-directional support (LTR, RTL and mixed) in Web interface is as simple to add to element dir=auto.

If I remember correctly, they are using canvas with custom rendering logic. Hence many native browser capabilities might not be available.

Please add RTL support

As you might noticed, it is planned for future versionS. They have not clarified which version. It's for future, maybe 4.5, maybe 5, mabe 8!!!

We will be so glad and thankful if developers add RTL as soon as possible. On Feb 17, 2018 10:01 AM, "kiani37" [email protected] wrote:
