Please add RTL text direction to all versions, in Persian and Arabic and... it's very necessary. Make it more accessible please

Wesam, do you mean the text alignment or the object alignment?

left to right and right to left alignment is missing

Same problem, it make Illustrator unusable for many cases of my work on the Ipad

im dealing with this now. SMH it shouldnt be hard. Photoshop has it down, why not illustrator??

Thank you @alex

Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian text displays in the wrong direction. The leftmost character displays on the right, and vice versa.

Text direction needs to be automatic based on character set, NOT on a global configuration setting. Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian characters should always be displayed right to left, even when mixed with English or other characters that go left-to-right.

Otherwise it is impossible to create documents that contain both English and Arabic text; one or the other will be always displayed backwards, which is just dumb.

Windows Notepad got this right years ago.

I cant find the paragraph tool(RTL paragraph direction )

Same problem, I cant find left to right direction option ?!

Here is another screen shot

If you do Hebrew you should use Creative Cloud ME
I am in Illustrator 2020 and there is right to left type tool plus paragraph direction arrows and option for single line or every line Middle Eastern

Are you in ME? Illustrator 2020 has the right to left tool in the toolbar and the writing directions on top
If you do Hebrew you should be in ME

I don't have Paragraph Direction buttons, even after i changed it to 'middle eastern & south Asian Every line composer'.

It's really frustrating to write in Hebrew without these buttons guys.
Please help how to solve it!

where is Right To Left Paragraph Direction menu in illustrator 2020

same problem here

The problem is not on the PC, the direction buttons are not there. and we can't control the text direction.

I fixed this issue by going to "Paragraph Styles" window, creating a new style, I called it Arabic, went to Paragraph Style Option and under "Basic Character..." I selected my default Arabic font (this step is optional), then for "Advanced Character..." set Language to "Arabic", and in "Middle East Character..." set Digits to "RTL Arabic", and Character Direction to "Right to Left"

Now, whenever I need to type or work with Arabic text I use this Paragraph Style, you can change the font in the regular Character Window.

totally agree why get rid of it????

smae issue.
