You may have noticed that all threads requesting RTL (right-to-left) support have been merged into this thread, regardless of platform specificity.
This was done in order to better enable us to quantify and qualify user requests, and amplify their voice.
While this does not mean this is a feature that will be coming, we certainly want to relay user feedback/sentiment to our various teams.
Moving forward, please put all commentary and votes for RTL (right-to-left) support here!
Well,
It seems that over 3 years have passed since Evernote expressed the desire to "quantify, qualify and amplify" the collective requests for RTL support in the app.
Since then, the meager support that did exist for RTL (the "paragraph direction" feature) has been removed in the Jan. 2021 update. Since then, Evernote has become unworkable for Arabic and Hebrew writers, among other languages.
For me, it made my Evernote notes captive, since I cannot migrate them to another program, such as OneNote. I am still looking for a solution, while copying and recreating note for note in other apps (Word and OneNote, Scrivener, etc.)
It is disheartening, insulting and despairing, that Evernote keeps silent on this matter, while on the other hand claiming to want to quantify and qualify the need for RTL solution.
This should not be an issue. Operating systems support multiple languages. Bidirectional text is supported across manny systems. Evernote has put this need at the bottom of its priority list from the start. The fact that this is a request sent as early as 2012, demonstrates how little Evernote executives think of their users, who happen to write from right to left.
Ironically, this disrespect is the one thing uniting Arab, Jewish Israeli and Iranian users of Evernote.
For me, I am tired of looking for RTL support with each update and to look for workarounds. When I complete transferring my last note to other platforms, I will uninstall Evernote from my devices.
