Currently Asana Web interface does not support **RTL** languages. **RTL** text shown **LTR** which make it hard to read. appending `"dir=auto"` to each row of task make it much better. but it needs to inject js and css to page, which is hard and not permanent. Also, text is not quite readable, Because of font. ---

Should point out that support for just “[**Right-to-Left** languages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-to-left)” (such as Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian) _per se_ is not really enough — but would nevertheless be most welcome as a big step in the correct direction! What is _truly_ needed, in the more general sense, is support for [**bidirectional** (_ **mixed** _ RTL/LTR) text](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-directional_text) (“BiDi”), per the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm. ---

Will Asan ever support RTL language support, i depend heavily on arabic typing and it’s annoying to not be able to type from right to left. Thanks ---

Hi there, I also wish Asana would fix RTL support soon, in the meanwhile, I found that the best practice to escalate our request to the company is through finding the thread with most votes and just adds more votes to it. The link to that thread > [@RTL language support](https://forum.asana.com/t/rtl-language-support/4755): > > Currently Asana Web interface does not support RTL languages. RTL text shown LTR which make it hard to read. appending "dir=auto" to each row of task make it much better. but it needs to inject js and css to page, which is hard and not permanent. Also, text is not quite readable, Because of font. ---

PLEASE make RTF text. All you have to do is add a **rich text editor** that would have the text direction built into it. That would also solve the colored text issue that people have been asking about for years. ---
