Support for bidirectional (BiDi) text that includes Right-to-Left (RTL) languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian is broken since first version of Prime (worked great on old scanner)
All texts in RTL languages appears reverse.

Can confirm. FWIW, this also occurs when submitting new wayspots in Pokemon Go, although the text does appear in the right direction in existing wayspots in that game.
Prime still feels like beta with this rtl bug.
I miss the redacted/ orig
Thanks for flagging this @Jepakazol Please provide your device model, OS, and the app versions to help us investigate this issue.
It occurs on every device running prime. I'm using OnePlus 5T with OxygenOS 10.0.1.
See the image:
Portal name and description are:
לואש ןג
יקסבוחינרשט לואש ש"ע
Needs to be rotated:
גן שאול
ע"ש שאול טשרניחובסקי
It happens also in linking, in keys inventory and in any other area of the scanner with portal names.
To explain the problem:
This is how you read English on Prime if English was a RTL Language: ishT si woh uoy daer hsilngE no emirP fi hsilgnE saw a LTR egaugnaL
Same in swedish language.
Я уже создал такую тему неделю назад. Ищи в общем списке.
Hi Niantic, can we please have RTL again please?

Oh, Niantic, why don't you fix this annoying bug?
Don't you want more players around the world? Aren't we important enough to get some developer time to google some Right-To-Left solutions?
Why this is still a thing? :'(
Bumping because it's still not fixed. Every RTL text appears reversed. Includes portal info and chat. It's difficult to socialize or read portal names when everything is backwards.
