Description
Our UI (particularly the settings UI) should support RTL. Check out this doc for how to do it: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/design/globalizing/adjust-layout-and-fonts--and-support-rtl#handling-right-to-left-rtl-languages
qps-ploca is a good tool for testing RTL.
Some notable UI that could use this includes:
- settings UI
- tabs?
- dropdown
- command palette
- about menu
- other popups
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading the linked Microsoft RTL guidance and testing with qps-ploca. Review the settings UI, tabs, dropdowns, command palette, about menu, and other popups to identify the affected surfaces. Done means the listed UI supports right-to-left languages and can be verified with RTL test content.
