Product Feedback: Arabic text locale
Posted Oct 27, 2023
Hello Team,
While setting up our Arabic Zendesk instance, we have noticed that the text in Arabic language is misaligned in several places. In most languages, the text flow is from left to right, whereas in Arabic it is right to left.
The places where we noticed such a behavior is in CSAT responses (End users > Satisfaction). This concerns mobile devices (tested on Android and iOS).
Another place where we observed this is within Dynamic content:
And another place is Chat / Messaging Shortcuts in both preview and edit mode:
Changing the language of devices (desktop/laptop, Android and iOS) did align some of these, but did not fix the entire issue.
It is possible that Arabic speakers (agents and end users) can use English language as default, so we are expecting that this will be fixed.
Looking forward to this!

Can we keep right-to-left text alignment in both admin and user chat interfaces? Also, will this take effect on auto-translation or only on custom content?

Hi Shawna James
I also wanted to add that although Zendesk bot supports Arabic, the messages are shown from left to right. That seems strange. It makes it hard for Arabic speakers to use it easily. It would be better if the messages were shown from right to left, like they're supposed to.
