Support for Right to Left Languages - e.g. Hebrew and Arabic - resubmitted

[zshilor]

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

While the rich content editor supports the right to left alignment pretty well, the layout design of the basic page doesn't. This results in a weird alignment of vertical navigation lists and the alignments of paragraphs. It also distorts sentences that combine English words or characters, which is even more crucial as it makes some sentences hard to understand.

We would appreciate also the support of the 'regular' language speakers with your vote. Count us in

I attached example of both issues: Areas that are LTR which would be better that will be RTL, and mixed wording that goes wrong.

(This idea is a re-submission Support for Right to Left Languages - e.g. Hebrew and Arabic We would appreciate our former supporters to also support us in this call)

Thank you so much for posting your experience here.  We're doing some checking now to see if we can get this added to your FFT (Free For Teacher) account.

Hi, Zeev,

We checked with our product and engineering teams, and we've now enabled right-to-left functionality by default in our Free for Teacher accounts to use in your courses or to enable in your user settings.

Thanks!

Erin
