better support for RTL (right to left) languages.

[moca12341]

First off i want to thanks the people behind the fossify apps. i use them daily and they work perfectly.

My language (Hebrew) is from right to left, and across the apps the "formatting" is left to right.
also there are some translations that are missing for basic words.
I would really like to contribute to translations but don't how to do so....

here is some pics to describe what i mean :
non translated words appear on the left of the screen instead of being on the right.

also:

calendar days and numbers should start from the right like this example:

1. Translations are crowdsourced and everyone is welcome to contribute using Weblate.
2. Could you write down the issues (omitting untranslated texts) as bug reports in proper app repositories? In case of bugs that are common for multiple apps (like your first screenshot from Settings), please raise them in General Discussion. We can fix these issues, but we must know them first.

@Aga-C
thanks for the quick reply , i will happily contribute to translation:)

aside from the words that are yet to be translated , the text appearing from left to right text (like in the first screenshot from settings) is across all apps , calendar , gallery and so on , that why i opened it under general discussion ,
I see that you closed this one , should i submit a new one ?

i will open a bug post on the calendar app about the specific issue seperetly

Please create a bug report, not a discussion.

calendar days and numbers should start from the right like this example:

Just to add, that's not a bug. The days and the numbers are supposed to be centered in LTR as well as RTL layout.

hi,
i guess i made a mistake, maybe a request was more appropriate.
i meant to request/say that because of the RTL layout of the Hebrew language , the calendar days and numbers also start from the right.
(like in the pictures) , elderly members that i installed this app for got confused so i thought i would request it.

the first week would look like this:

also, i went to weblate and added alot of translations for Hebrew but could not find in any section the words from the first 2 pictures (neither in the calendar section or in other sections)

thanks again for the great work :D

Ah, I see now. That is a bug. Sadly I don't speak Hebrew :(

I think you'll find the missing strings in the commons component: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/fossify/commons/

should i open a bug in the calendar repo?
also the RTL numbers is only in calendars. we write numbers from left to right like the rest of the world lol.

And finally while i will continue to translate words, in most apps the formatting is LTR
(for example you can see in the first pic the word general is appearing to the left of the screen)
btw the calculator app has correct RTL formatting and doesn't have this issue

also checkboxes are supposed to be

at the left of the screen (the end of hebrew sentences are on the left)

so was this the right place to post the above issue as it affects most apps? asking because this conversation is marked closed

thanks :)

[Aga-C]

If a bug is only in one app, please report it in this app - feel free to report the problem with Calendar in Calendar's repository.

About checkboxes - we're replacing them with switches in all apps, so you don't need to report it.

Yes, it was the right place. We've only closed the discussion, because it has been resolved by you creating a bug report.
