Hi. Hebrew is still not supported. please consider creating specific topic for it.

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.

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