Feature request: Add Hebrew to voice dictation + RTL support in the terminal input line
Summary: Hebrew-speaking Claude Code user on Windows 11. Two limitations significantly hurt usability and accessibility for Hebrew (and Arabic) speakers.
1. Voice dictation — Hebrew is not supported
The current set covers ~20 languages (English, French, German, Russian, Japanese, etc.) but neither Hebrew nor Arabic. Setting language: "he" falls back to English. Please add Hebrew (and ideally Arabic) to the supported dictation languages.
2. The terminal input line is LTR-only
Hebrew text (and any RTL script, including Arabic) reverses and misplaces the cursor in the prompt input, due to a Node Readline limitation. I currently have to compose Hebrew in an external VS Code editor (EDITOR + Ctrl+G) and paste it. Please add native RTL support in the input line.
Why it matters
Together these mean Hebrew/Arabic speakers can neither dictate by voice nor type comfortably in their native language — an accessibility and parity gap versus other supported languages.
Platform: Windows 11.
Current workaround: composing Hebrew in an external VS Code editor; voice dictation in English only.
