Hi all, thank you for your commitment to sharing feedback and helping us improve our products - I’ve updated the status of this request to “future consideration,” which means the product development team isn’t currently working on this but might revisit in the future, and you’re welcome to continue adding feedback on this topic. I’d like to share this resource, which further explains the context of the “future consideration” status, in case it is helpful.

Dears

Why still Lucidchart does not support right-to-left fonts?

I have noticed that many tickets, some dating back several years, remain unresolved. This delay, along with the perception that Lucidchart is not interested in resolving these issues, may lead users to seek alternatives, potentially causing Lucidchart to lose users to competing platforms.

Hello, but how many requests exactly does your team need to add a basic feature like right-to-left writing? Considering that 20% of the world's population uses languages that are written from right to left.

I would like to add that this feature would also benefit language learners even if it’s their second language.

Hi ​@adire, thanks for this comment! While support for Hebrew would likely be addressed as part of support for all right-to-left languages, we’d love to learn more about your specific needs in Hebrew. While we’ll continue to use this thread as the central conversation for all right-to-left languages, you’re more than welcome to start a new thread about it here! I’ll also share a few other threads below that specifically mention Hebrew. Thanks again for taking the time to share your feedback!

Hi. currently the main problem is that Hebrew is presented backward. if I type: “אדיר” it will present in my diagram as “רידא”.  looks like it can be resolved pretty much easily because it looks like there is no font issue.

@adire Appreciate the additional context and specific example - very helpful!

How is this still not a priority? Approximately 491 million people globally speak Arabic, making it the fifth most spoken language in the world.
