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!

    Discord is rebranding.

    "Your place to talk"

    "In listening to your feedback, we heard that you want Discord to be … more inclusive …"

     

    How is it then that there's still no support for RTL languages? I hope you can be a little more inclusive.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with focusing on monetization, especially for content/platform creators. However, it is definitely a huge letdown and a major symbol of exclusion to not take into consideration and acknowledge other languages and their characteristic linguistics- for sure! Upvoted*

    Yes, please! This is pretty much the only thing preventing me moving all my socials over to Discord.

    How is this still not a thing, it's such a simple and obvious thing to add, it makes absolutely no sense to me why they are ignoring this post

    This is a must-have feature. Very disappointed that it's not supported.
