Using Right To Left Languages In Office. Note - unlike elsewhere in Windows in this list Farsi is listed under Persian Click OK to save changes. Right-to-left can also refer to top-to-bottom right-to-left scripts such as Chinese Japanese and Korean though in modern times they are also commonly written left to right.
This is because the text direction defaults to right-to-left in versions of Microsoft Word sold in some regions. Right-to-left languages are often actually bi-directional. I was able to set Libre on my old PC the same way but cant on my new one.
Click File Options Advanced Display select Left-to-right for Default direction.
Languages that use a top-to-bottom direction can mostly be displayed left-to-right. Uncheck the Show sheet right-to-left option under Display options for this worksheet. When translating into Arabic I need the editor to align the target text so it becomes a right to left text. Currently LibreOffice supports Hindi Thai Hebrew and Arabic as CTL languages.
