Feature Request: RTL (Right-to-Left) language support in Claude Desktop

Resolved 💬 1 comment Opened Jun 24, 2026 by Tomg-Tech Closed Jun 27, 2026

Problem

The Claude Desktop app currently displays all text LTR only, which makes Hebrew, Arabic, and other RTL languages difficult to read — text appears reversed and misaligned.

Request

Add native RTL support, either:

  • Auto-detect RTL languages and flip direction per message
  • Or add a user preference in Settings to set UI direction (LTR/RTL)

Why

This is a standard CSS/Electron feature (direction: rtl) and would significantly improve usability for millions of RTL-language users.

Notes

Attempted workaround via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) injection was blocked by AppX sandboxing on Windows — confirming this needs to be addressed at the app level.
