Problem Statement

Summary

Claude Code (CLI, web, and IDE extensions) does not support RTL languages
(Hebrew, Arabic). Text appears left-aligned and mixed-direction content
(code + Hebrew) is difficult to read.

Expected behavior

• Automatic RTL detection for Hebrew/Arabic text blocks
• Code blocks remain LTR
• Mixed-direction content renders correctly (bidi)
• Works across CLI, web app (<claude.ai/code>), and IDE extensions

Proposed Solution

Current workarounds

• claude-desktop-rtl-patch (Windows Desktop only, requires binary patching

and certificate replacement — not ideal)

• No solution exists for Claude Code CLI or web

Context

Teams working in Hebrew/Arabic use Claude Code daily. Proper RTL support
would significantly improve readability and usability.
