Add Right to Left (RTL) support to Discord

Nelly
Currently, Right to Left text in Discord is often flipped, since Discord does not support Right to Left languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian...). Adding support to Right to Left languages is as easy as adding 1 line of code. Refer to this reddit post: https://redd.it/4zvag6 All that is needed is to change the 'unicode-bidi' rule for the text in Discord. Left to Right languages will not be affected and Right to Left languages will finally be able to chat normally. It's a win-win situation!

    Hey all,

    Does this fix work in compact mode or only in cozy mode?

    Also my understanding was that unicode-bidi: plaintext can have some issues with unicode emojis, have any of y'all who have applied this fix seen any problems like that?

    Just curious if we need a more complicated permanent fix on our end or not?

    @aj 

    i see you have applied the fix to the chat input box. that's awesome. but also you might need to align the text to left 

    becouse the unicode-bidi: plaintext, changes the align to right when the text is Arabic.

    so i would recommend unicode-bidi: plaintext; text-align: left;

    Regarding to Emojis. no we didn't see any problems with it. keep in mind that iphone version already using it without issues.

     

    Waiting for you to apply it with the message content aswell

    @Mr.DJA 

    I think if it was left align it will be much much better, do you think so?

     

    specially for big screens

    @Maran, i agree or it will be easier to just make the text in the left 

    so we can write both our languages/ English without issue

    Would be nice if it were a setting instead of it being automatic, because if you have a message in hebrew and a text message under it in english it will look weird both texts will be in different sides and it looks silly.
