Problem Statement

Claude Code's UI does not support RTL (right-to-left) text direction, making it difficult to use for speakers of Hebrew, Arabic, and other RTL languages. Text appears left-aligned and the layout does not adapt to RTL reading flow, which degrades the experience for a significant portion of potential users.

Proposed Solution

Add an RTL mode option to Claude Code's settings that:

  • Flips the UI layout direction to right-to-left
  • Aligns text and chat bubbles to the right
  • Automatically detects RTL languages and switches direction accordingly, or allows manual toggle via settings/config
