Using line break in RTL languages rendered the lines backwards

Hi,

I'm using TextMeshPro objects for my texts. I've added a term with translation that has line breaks.
The Hebrew (RTL language) translations is as follows:
אני שורה 1
אני שורה 2
אני שורה 3

But, it renders the lines in the wrong order (last to first) - see attached image:


Regular Text object (not TextMeshPro) seems to work fine.

Are you aware of this issue? or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

Hi,

I have found the problem, when you reverse the final text to RTL you don't consider '\n'.

I changed ReverseText() to this and it seems to be working.

public static string ReverseLine(string line)
{
var len = line.Length;
var output = new char[len];
for (var i = 0; i < len; i++)
{
output[(len - 1) - i] = line;
}
return new string(output);
}

public static string ReverseText(string source)
{
var len = source.Length;
var outputString = "";
string[] stringSeparators = new string[] { Environment.NewLine };
string[] strSplit = source.Split(stringSeparators, StringSplitOptions.None);
foreach (var line in strSplit)
{
outputString += ReverseLine(line) + Environment.NewLine;
}
return outputString.Remove(len);
}

Hello,

I have the same problem with arabic. Try to use your code but it has an error: Cannot implicitly convert type 'string' to 'char'

in ReverseText() function, in line:

output[(len - 1) - i] = line;

Does it work in your project)

Thank you!

Hi,

thank you for your help! I have the last version, but had to use the code from above to solve the issue.

Now I have another problem, when adding english words to the text, commas and dots are put to the right instead to the left (see screenshoot attached). In the screenshot the coma should be after the world "Muxima" (not before "Experience").


Edit: Happening the same with english words with other charachters, not only comma and dots (" , [ ], ..). If i add spaces between that characters it works! Any solution without modifying the text?
