Description

Hello @ranuts/document team,

I am writing to inquire about any potential plans to implement Right-to-Left (RTL) language support in your document editor.

This feature is essential for users who need to write and edit in languages like Arabic, that are written from right to left.

I noticed that a ONLYOFFICE, recently added full RTL support.

Thank you for your consideration!
