Description

Describe your suggested feature

Hi,
On right to left languages, like Arabic and Hebrew, the punctuation Marks are displayed on the opposite side, if you could add an option on the subtitles setting to change that or make it automaticaly based on the language it would be very helpful. Thank you!

Research direction

Start by locating the subtitles setting and the subtitle display path in the Android app, then test the behavior with Arabic and Hebrew text. Decide whether the issue requires an explicit setting or automatic language handling, and consider the work complete when punctuation displays on the expected side for right-to-left subtitles.
