Zettlr: Right to left (rtl) languages support

[gotoayman]

Please consider giving support to rtl languages like Arabic and Hebrew in the program

Thanks so much for opening up your first issue here on the repository! 🎉 We would like to warmly welcome you to the community behind the app! ☺️ We'll check in soon and have a look at your issue. In the meantime, you can check your issue and make sure it aligns with our contribution guidelines! Here's the comprehensive list:

Enhancements

An enhancement takes a feature and improves or alters its behaviour. Please make sure to argue how your proposition will aid non-technical text workers, and why it can't be emulated easily with other features or apps!

Feature requests

Feature requests introduce whole new features into the app. This requires a lot of work, so these might be turned down if the implementation costs supersede the benefits we expect to see from implementing it. Please do not be disappointed if that happens. It likely has nothing to do with your great request but simply with us and our missing resources!
You can of course always ask someone to implement this feature, because a PR with a working new feature has much higher chances of being merged! :)

Bug reports

Please note that one of the main reasons for why bug reports cannot be addressed is that there's not enough information for us to find and fix the bug you describe, so make sure you try to pinpoint the bug as close as possible.
The ideal bug report for us has two qualities:

1. The bug is always reproducible, at least within a certain context. 2. We know exactly what specifically goes wrong, and there is consensus on
   what should happen instead.

Please note that if you encounter behaviour that does not align with your expectations of what would happen, this might as well be simply intended behaviour and we need to simply _clarify_ why the behaviour is the way it is. This is not to be considered a bug and such issues may be closed! Suggest an enhancement instead!
But now, have a great day and thank you again!

Thanks, @nathanlesage for the great work. it's awesome.

RtL in 1.7.1 is not working at all, text always aligned to the left side of the screen!

[nathanlesage]

@gotoayman Please update your application to 1.7.5.

[gotoayman]

@gotoayman Please update your application to 1.7.5.

Updated and the problem is the same.

[sajjad-shirazy]

It's 1.7.5

[gotoayman]

not working with me. i wonder why!

[nathanlesage]

@gotoayman Would you mind checking the Berlin theme? It looks as if you're using the Frankfurt theme; if it works using the Berlin theme, this might indicate a problem with the theme itself.

[gotoayman]

i tested all the themes and there is no change. i even uninstalled and installed the program and there is no change. right to left option has no effect on the display screen.
i have the windows 10 with the latest updates. display language is English but Arabic is enabled.
I wonder if any other user has the same problem.

[gotoayman]

just now i changed the editor option to LtR direction and then returned it to LtR and it surprisingly works?!!!!

[gotoayman]

when exporting RtL pages to any format it switches to LtR. I hope that the program will support the Rtl in exporting as well, not only in the display.

[nathanlesage]

I hope that the program will support the Rtl in exporting as well, not only in the display.

Mh, please feel free to open up issues with regard to this.
