Arabic characters do not link correctly and the text appears in the wrong order.

This bug has been reported and marked as resolved (MCPE-9992).
But it still exists, I hope to solve this bug.

  • Arabic letters must be connected

  • the direction of writing is from right to left.

in java edition the problem was solved, but in bedrock It still exists

Example:
How it should be: مثال
How is it in the game: ل ا ث م

NOTE :This issue does not relate to a specific device

Just imagine that you are communicating with your friends in a inverse language.

Does this only apply to chat, books and signs?

Everything with Arabic letters appears like this:

  • items named with anvil

  • mob named with name tag

  • chat/signs/books

I feel like I need to add some info to this bug report, so sorry for the bump

This bug is still an issue in 1.18.12

And it not just affects the three places that mohamed elmakhloufi mentioned, it effects everything with Arabic letters, including the GUIs

Tested with the Translations for Minecraft pack

As seen in this screenshot, some appear properly, thanks to a workaround, and some doesn't, like the "الموسيقى و الاصوات", which appears as "ت‌ا‌و‌ص‌ا‌ل‌ا و ى‌ق‌ي‌س‌و‌م‌ل‌ا"

Workaround

This workaround has been used in some Arabic language packs for a while now

For this I will use the translation for the "Keyboard & Mouse" (الکيبورد) button for the example

  1. Write the word like this "ﺩﺭﻮﺒﻴﻜﻟﺍ", instead of "الکيبورد"

  2. The word will show in-game as "الکيبورد" instead of "د‌ر‌و‌ب‌ي‌ك‌ل‌ا"

Yeah, a pretty annoying workaround, but that is the best you can do 😞

 

Even though I'm not a native Arab, it would be really nice to see this bug get fixed

Can confirm that this affects EVERY SINGLE TEXT, no matter where. Even if it’s in a book, a world name, or an item it’s still scuffed up.

Still happening as of Release 1.19.11 and Beta/Preview 1.19.20.24

I really hope they fix it in the next update

 

I wished to write in my language so bad

This issue was reported on in 2020 why mojang still didn't fix it

Thank you for your report!
After consideration, the issue is being closed as Won't Fix.

Please note that this is not the same as Working as Intended, as this bug report correctly describes behavior in the game that might not be the intended or desirable behavior, but it will not be fixed right now. Sometimes, this is because the issue reported is minor and/or impossible to change without large architectural changes to the code base.
