Right-to-Left support of Middle East Languages (Persian, Arabic, etc...)

Hello community.

Pencil is cool, but no Farsi support. Farsi and Arabic (same thing for computer engineers) with around 110 + 420 million speakers around the world. I wan't to ask developers to add support for this languages.

• Operating system: Ubuntu
• Pencil version: 3.0.4

Also Chinese language is needed, actually we need multi-language support in the app

There are two levels of supporting different languages in Pencil: supporting additional UI languages and supporting language settings in drawing element properties.

I'm not sure which part of the things you are asking for. We plan to add the later part as a feature where user can create contents in for example RTL languages.

We don't and won't have a plan to support Pencil UI in any additional language. Chinese is not an exception.

Hello.
Let me clarify that it is possible to write in Farsi; but there are so many bugs because of fundamental differences between our langauges.
similarly to the issue we had here, described with pictures:
