Support of RTL language in AppSheet

Please add the support for RTL language as well. A lot of user groups will need this support. Many of our clients are living in countries with RTL languages. Thank you.

Or at least for started, even if you allow us to align texts, labels & buttons to the right, it would be a great improvement

I've seen this has been the subject for many many requests and while it is easy to do I don't unfortunately see why AppSheet team hasn't responded to this request.

Joining the request, also done it on appsheet community quite while ago.
The actual adoption of appsheet in the RTL language countries for example in education is depended on rtl...

I would love to use Appsheet but it's not usable for Arabic and Hebrew speakers. There is a massive market for Arabic speakers, so you should consider it. Not much effort to develop the RTL direction option or at least give a CSS editor for advanced users.

Hello, team

This is great news about the RTL issue project
The email went to spam, so I saw it only today, so I sent the form only
now...
Since I need it for Hebrew (and Arabic), I would greatly appreciate
access to the RTL Preview
Thanks a lot
These apps ids are relevant: (the same content, one is backup, I want to
test it, the other I want to show to someone else):
