Android Question [B4X] BCTextEngine / BBCodeView Rtl support for Arabic language

[shrs]

Hi guys! I had a question that I would be grateful if you could answer. Does the BCTextEngine library support right-to-left attributes for Arabic and Persian languages?

It currently doesn't support those languages. These are quite complex languages to support as the letters cannot be treated as single glyphs.

Hi Erel and thanks for the reply. one idea! Can't words be used instead of letters in these languages? That is, instead of examining the letters and printing each one of them, the words should be examined. Typing words in these languages does not require examining the letters separately.

Hello again. Erel I have a module here that is used to display Arabic and Persian words correctly in Android below 3. Is it possible to use this module to display the words of these languages in this library? Thanks for checking this out too.

Yes, but the engine currently doesn't support it.
