I'm not familiar with Khmer, but there are a number of resources that can help with your issues. Here is an article about kivy with arabic. The element that is relevant here is about using a reshaper. https://medium.com/@ahmedfgad/supporting-arabic-alphabet-in-kivy-for-building-cross-platform-applications-7a1e7c14a068

This repository contains a number of resources for working with Khmer: https://github.com/seanghay/awesome-khmer-language The resources that seems most relevant for this issue is; https://github.com/sillsdev/khmer-normalizer

Looking at the image you posted, the english characters did not print. Look for a font that includes both the english characters and the khmer characters.

I hope this helps.

yes, that's correct, how to modify it ?

Which component did you use to display the content label or text input?
