sublime_text [RTL] Sublime Text and Arabic, Persian, Hebrew languages

It looks normal in the title bar and the tab bar.

I really hope this bug is fixed soon.

So, what you're requesting is basically RTL support?

Jul 22 '13 16:07 FichteFoll

Yes, but inside the RTL strings, because the rest of the file will be normally an LTR programming language, you can check Facebook for inspiration in the chat box, it writes LTR normally until you write any RTL string between the LTR text, IDK how they detect this change in language, but it works perfectly!

Add an RTL layout to the view options, Please!

Still waiting this to be fixed .. just curios what's is the problem for implementing the "Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm" ?

I will use Atom for RTL files until it fixed.

+1 I'm a part of a 15 people development team interested in the editor but due to lack of RTL support we're using Atom.

Unfortunately at this time Sublime Text does not support RTL languages.

You can actually "vote" (or react, rather) on github issues now. Although they are not sortable or ranked by any means, these votes are still more likely to be looked at that userecho, which has been dead for the past maybe 5 years. Just speculating though.

@fryaniv and @nikolassharp please use Github's "reaction" capability to respond to individual posts. Extraneous comments that do not add to the conversation may be deleted, as many people get notified each and every time someone posts.

this bug is not solved? I install Sublime 3114 but not usable :(

FYI, this issue was locked due to numerous "+1" posts, which I deleted. As everyone can see in this project's readme, these posts are unwanted and you should use the reaction feature.

I was made aware that it is not possible to react to comments (or the OP) when an issue is locked, which is quite disappointing and unexpected for me.

I'll re-open this issue to allow people to react to it, i.e. upvote, but when people start with "+1" posts again, I might have to re-lock it.

I guess reading really is hard.
