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
