Yep, that’s good, as a long time user of ASANA the RTL support in display and editor is fairly common today in most clients and would be great to see it in ASANA too.

Many years later and still no RTL support!
Simple line of code - So sorry we’ve implement Asana.

Hey guys,
This is an obvious one - anyone who writes in Hebrew/Arabic or any right-to-left language in Asana must know the frustration of writing words in English along with our language - it just messes up the whole text.
Please add this simple feature to make our lives so much easier

7 years have pasted since this issue was created, and still there is no RTL support.
Guys, it is a single line of code.
Please.

+1 so frustrating
Hi Asana team,
Our team works in multiple languages, including right-to-left (RTL) languages. While we appreciate the multilingual support in Asana, we’ve noticed that there is currently no option to change the writing direction from left-to-right to right-to-left.
Proper RTL support would greatly improve the experience for users working in these languages, especially when reading and writing longer texts or collaborating with others in the same language. Language selection alone isn’t enough if the platform doesn’t support the correct text direction.
We’d love to see RTL support added as a native feature in the future, either as a workspace-wide setting or a per-task/comment toggle.
Thank you for continuously improving Asana and for listening to your global user community!*

+1 — that’s a great idea to implement!
Hi Asana team 
When I write in both Arabic and English in the same line, the text direction becomes jumbled or reversed, making it difficult to read. This affects the readability and usability for Arabic-speaking teams.
It would be incredibly helpful if Asana supported right-to-left (RTL) text and improved how mixed Arabic-English text is displayed.

Hi Asana team,
I’d like to request native RTL (right-to-left) language support in Asana. Right now, typing task names, descriptions, or comments in Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, or Urdu results in broken text alignment, misplaced punctuation, and incorrect rendering of mixed-direction content (e.g. Hebrew + English, or numbers within Arabic text). This makes Asana difficult to use as a primary work tool for anyone whose native language is written right-to-left.
The audience here is genuinely large:
- Over 500 million people worldwide natively use RTL languages — Arabic (370M+ speakers), Hebrew (~9M), Persian (~110M), Urdu (100M+).
- Around 15% of the world’s languages (roughly 150 languages across 12 scripts) are written right-to-left.
- RTL users span the entire Middle East, North Africa, and parts of South and Central Asia — regions with rapidly growing SaaS adoption.
RTL support has also become a baseline expectation in modern productivity tools. Notion, Monday.com, ClickUp, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack, and Figma have all implemented it. Teams evaluating Asana against these alternatives notice the gap immediately, and for multilingual organizations it often becomes a dealbreaker.
What I’m requesting:
- Automatic RTL text alignment when Hebrew, Arabic, or other RTL scripts are detected in task names, descriptions, comments, and custom fields.
- Proper bidirectional (BiDi) text rendering for mixed-language content.
- Correct text-direction handling across the UI — web, desktop, and mobile apps.
This is a long-standing, well-documented gap that affects a significant user base. I’d love to know if RTL support is on the roadmap, and if the community could help by consolidating votes on this request.
Thanks for considering it.
