0 vit 0 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Hello, I'm not sure that it's the place but I would like to request such a feature The right to left support is very lacking currently in the mac app - You can't set in first place that the text is right to left (you have to do it after the text was created) When you add bullets - all becomes very messy... The bullets only allow left to right It would be highly appreciated by all Israeli users Thanks! Vit Link to comment

0 Matt W. 174 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hello @aptowizard and @meirjean, Thank you for posting. To make sure we are all on the same page, this started after a recent update to Evernote on Android, correct? Or did this start after an update to another Evernote application on a different device? Do your notes still appear correctly on the Evernote website? 1 Link to comment
0 meirjean 9 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Thank you @Matt W. for the attention, This indeed started after the update to the Android app - I believe it has to do with your new editor, right after you guys posted that there's a new editor the issue started . Writing & editing on the web is fine.. BTW - notes that were written in the past & are accessed now through the app are still ok - they are aligned to the right as they should but just new notes cannot be aligned to right. Editing anything in Hebrew or Arabic is impossibly confusing (clicking at the end of a line will start typing at its beginning & the other way around). I have high hopes with you helping Matt - I use the app all the time & would hate to have to switch service (300 million right-to-left language speakers would probably have to do the same..) A big thank you in advance!!! (p.s. I would be happy to help with any further questions until resolution, I'm also sure it's not a specific issue with me - opened Evernote at a friend's android phone & it's the same..) Link to comment

0 meirjean 9 Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Thanks again @Matt W.! Don't know if this helps but here's more info: Your Windows desktop program always had some confusing issues with Right-to-Left texts - the cursor doesn't follow the text while typing but is instead stationary, remaining at the beginning of the line (which is very confusing for editing) & placing the cursor at the beginning of a line produces the same effect as the new Android update does (it starts writing at the end of the line instead - placing it at the end starts writing at the beginning..) I've come to terms with this & although it could sometimes be really uncomfortable it's somehow manageable. (your Windows App BTW is perfect & doesn't have this problem at all but is just less comfortable with a non touch screen..) Hope this helps & can't wait for the Android app to come back to normal - maybe on the way you might fix the Windows program cursor issue also! Link to comment
0 aptowizard 6 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Hi the problem still exist in my android. the button of alignment is missing in the android while it does appear in the web or in the pc windows. in my case all my previous notes which were written from write to left appear now in the pc windows and in the android from left to write. the note on the web also appear the wrong way - from left to right. that means it is impossible to read them. I suppose it all began when there was an update in the android but I am not sure. thanks Matt. 1 Link to comment

0 Adiron 1 Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I use the Windows, Mac and Android versions and have been having RTL issues for years now. Generally speaking, paragraph direction isn't saved on notes. If you change it once in one place, it won't remember it. Also Evernote Web doesn't support RTL very well. This is kind of a problem since I find it hard to recommend Evernote to my primarily Hebrew-speaking friends and colleagues... 1 Link to comment
0 PhoenixWazi 1 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Adiron: Have you experienced this on the desktop version? I'm also curious if you're using free vs. premium. I use Evernote on a daily basis in Arabic (desktop, premium version) and have never had an issue with it reverting to the wrong paragraph direction. I'm wondering if the glitch is specific to Hebrew, for some reason? Sorry I can't offer a solution. I'm just curious why RTL seems to be a problem for some users and not others, since I also recommend Evernote to colleagues who work in RTL languages. Link to comment
0 Yaser 0 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 I am an Arabic user and I would like to see Arabic fully supported in upcoming release of Evernote. I could use Arabic for notes but It appears in LTR direction. also Evernoe couldn't recognize scanable documents and cars for the lack of Arabic letter OCR. Arabic letter is used beside Arabic by Urdu, and Persian and other languages. Link to comment
0 Tom Gur 3 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 No Hebrew support in either the Windows or Android apps! Took me forever to try Evernote because I was an avid OneNote user. Finally decided to try it, and to my horror, realized there is no RTL support.... On the Windows app, you can justify the text to the right, which is half of the way - but the punctuation still displays at the beginning of the line... On the Android app, you can't even do that... There is no way I'm paying for this app until this is fixed, and probably not going to wait for it either..... Pitty, because other than that, it's fantastic. Looking back in the forum, I see that this issue has been raised way back in 2012 already - I would have expected Evernote to fix this problem, not for the measly Hebrew speaking market share, but for the huge, HUGE, Arabic speaking market share.... 3 Link to comment
0 meirjean 9 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Hi @Matt W., I appreciate your efforts but this is just to let you know it's the first time I'm not renewing my premium account & I'm sad to say it 's for this reason I've also stopped recommending Evernote to friends - I don't want them to be as frustrated as me with so much data with you already with just trying to figure out a way to transfer it to another service.. Good luck resolving this super critical issue for millions of users, if I've not completely moved to another service I would be sure to renew it once it resolves..

0 Yukina 0 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I am in trouble in using Arabic at Evernote for Mac because it does not support inputting from right to left. Therefore, I am forced to use Evernote Web in Google Chrome because that is the only version in which I can select writing from left or from right. (I could not find the same option in other browsers including Firefox and Safari...) After using Chrome, I see Arabic sentences wrote from right in other versions including Mac; so I believe that it will not be a difficult issue for developers to add this option. I really hope this option will be introduced to all the versions you offer, considering that the fee was raised. Thank you. Link to comment

0 Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted November 28, 2016 Level 5 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Given the huge number of people who write in RTL languages, I'm surprised they haven't fixed this more quickly. Hopefully, it will not be long. In the meantime, I've discovered a couple of things. I do sometimes write a few words in Hebrew (I don't know Arabic, so I can't test that). On my Android phone, I use a keyboard called Smart Keyboard Pro, precisely because it allows typing in a large number of languages, including RTL languages. I tried creating a new Evernote note and typing some Hebrew in it using Smart Keyboard Pro, and it typed correctly, right-to-left. Smart Keyboard Pro does include Arabic among its available languages. This might be a temporary measure that would work for some. On Windows, I don't have Hebrew or Arabic implemented at the system level, but I do have Syriac, another RTL language, and I found I was able to get correct RTL typing in an Evernote note when I selected Syriac as the language. I also use a word processor called Nota Bene, which has excellent facilities for writing both Hebrew and Arabic (though I admit I have not tested the Arabic!). When I write some Hebrew text in it and copy it to the Windows clipboard, then paste it into an Evernote note, it appears correctly formatted RTL, including word-wrap; and when I sync the note, it appears properly in Evernote on my Android phone. This might also work using RTL text created in Microsoft Word, but I'm not able to test that. So there may be some workarounds: a RTL-capable keyboard in Android, and creating RTL text in a word processor in Windows and copying and pasting into Evernote. Not really solutions, but perhaps they may help someone get some work done in EN until the fix is implemented. Of course, I don't know what would happen to notes created in these ways when the fix happens! 2 Link to comment
0 Daniel Frieser 1 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Dear Matt, I am surprised this issue has not been solved so far. It seems to be pending for way more than half a year now. In Evernote it should be possible to write from left to right or right to left or bidirectional (text from right to left and numbers or citations from left to right. These are basic concepts of markup language. If the editor doesn't support RTL you cannot edit any note without getting totally frustrated. In this case Evernote will become useless for anybody who needs to edit text in Arabic, Hebrew or any other language which is BIDI or RTL. This probably has cost Evernote already a quite number of premium members. For example: The following text was written RTL. After pasting it here (or in Evernote) it is converted into LTR. So the full stop is at the right which is at the beginning of the sentence instead at the end. And this is just the beginning of the trouble. للأسف لا أستطيع أن أتكلم العربية. Could you please bring this issue to the attention of someone who is capable to make a decisions about fixing this ASAP? Thank you. 1 Link to comment

0 PhoenixWazi 1 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 It seems that Evernote has slightly different features available on each of its platforms. But as someone who uses Evernote exclusively in Arabic, I have to say that I LOVE working in Evernote. I use a desktop-based, premium version on a Mac. I have full RTL support (enabled by right-clicking, then selecting text direction for paragraph). They are also one of the few programs that can actually do a decent text search in Arabic, even with OCR on images of texts. I'm sad to hear that RTL isn't enabled as well on other platforms, but if any of the commenters above are working on Macs, I'm surprised to hear you're having issues. Try downloading the desktop-based program and see if that resolves the issues? I'm including a screen shot of RTL options on my version of Evernote. Link to comment

0 meirjean 9 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 @Matt W. Does this mean you've given up on this? There is a way to resolve the RTL issue in all versions! How do I know? from the following: - The IOS version works ok - start writing & then long press the screen & click the IOS change orientation symbol (2 opposite horizontal arrows) - The windows version works weird - it's possible to write from right to left but the cursor doesn't follow as you type & actually placing it at the end with the mouse makes typing start at the beginning of the line! Additionally either typing numbers(!) or (god forbid) adding a word in English messes up the entire line & renders the text unintelligible & non-editable. - If a note was written in IOS (aligned to the right first & then add the text, not the opposite or it won't work!) & then opened in the Windows program - magically the Windows program works perfect!

Please help hundreds of millions of people use your apps (Adnriod in particular), please, please, please allow us to continue & use Evernote Link to comment
0 meirjean 9 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Hi, First of all let me say IOS is the only platform Evernote does a (very) good job in handling RTL. My only complaint is this: (After the text is aligned to the right & you input some text): Writing a number followed by a dot at the beginning of a line (say 1.) the number will disappear. Any insights? Link to comment

0 Amir All 14 Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Hey, I'm becoming so disappointed. Are you guys dropping support of RTL language altogether? Please tell us so we can move on! Link to comment
0 Talr 1 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Seems that as long as the app is rated over 4.5 in play store, nothing will change. If 20% of the users, which use RTL, will decrease the app rank to 3 stars or less, and explain why, this obvious need would be taken more seriously and respectfully. At the moment it looks like no one cares Link to comment
0 Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted March 7, 2017 Level 5 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I agree that this is a very serious issue. In general, the Evernote programmers (like all prudent software developers) don't comment on when certain features will be added or restored or improved. But this really is a necessity for many millions of users and potential users, and in this case silence may (perhaps unfairly) give the impression of lack of interest. In a previous post, I did suggest a couple of workarounds: But they are only workarounds, not really solutions. Link to comment

0 Metallica 22 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 By the way, Evernote's RTL was never working correctly. Always had problems with it on all platforms. Link to comment
0 Amir All 14 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I asked about it on twitter. Will do the same in facebook.I will also open tickets now and then. And I rated one star and told the reason. Ignoring is not the best strategy to take with your clients, EVERNOTE! 2 Link to comment

I also rated them 1 star on Google Play Store and mentioned the reason. Also pinged them on twitter regarding this. To be honest, it's more than fair to treat them the way they treat their customers and ignore them. This is a super critical issue for many paying customers, including me. This is not a fancy feature which nobody uses or a minor bug that happens to 2 customers only. I am a software developer myself and I know how prioritizing tickets and "epics" should work. This should be prioritized as a "showstopper". If they don't understand this, let's make them understand. 1 Link to comment

0 Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted March 23, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted March 23, 2017 No, sorry - see all the other RTL topics in the Forums... Evernote don't (usually) announce whether or when they're developing features, so it's anyone's guess. Link to comment
0 hhajj 0 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 You know Evernote can see their users demographics so if there's a good number of Arab users this should make this feature a priority, right?! Link to comment
0 Level 5* gazumped 12,054 Posted March 23, 2017 Level 5* Share Posted March 23, 2017 You would have thought that users stats would factor into their decisions, but they must have a lot of priorities... Link to comment

hi
it would be quite nice to support right to left writing direction for languages such as Hebrew, Arabic and Persian.
it is really hard to write and read when writing in left to right in those languages.
thanks.
