Support for rtl languages 

Hi,

I just came across SQLnote and I am very impressed with its capabilities. However, I would like to raise a suggestion/ request, for the application to support right-to-left text direction in text fields.

While inserting text, one can align it to the right, but after editing the field, the text will be aligned back to the left.

 

Thanks,

Yaniv

Hi,

Are you referring to the outliner (tree+grid) or the HTML pane. When I last tested it, the outliner supported RTL automatically (when using RTL languages). I can test it some more if you wish. Please provide details (languages, keyboards and if possible a test file)

Re: Support for rtl languages 

Thanks for the answer. I am referring to the outliner, as in the HTML pane RTL is supported. I wish to use the outliner with Hebrew, and I am attaching a file with example (see the inbox grig).

(see file test.SNDB).

Thanks.

Hi yanivdll

Thanks for sending the file. Alignment is set in Field Management :

  1. View > Manage Fields
  2. Select the text field you want, in this case it is the Item field
  3. In the Properties box, select Right Alignment
  4. Click Save
  5. Any opened grid need to be closed and re-opened to have this new setting applied

Re: Support for rtl languages 

Pierre,

Thanks for your reply. I'm aware of the allign right option in the field managment.

However, when doing so, the text is being reversed(you can see it in the picture you have attached compared with the text when it is alligned to the left in the file I sent). Accualy me request is to enable rtl direction of text (equivalent to using the HTML tag dir and assign it with rtl).

Hi,

I know very little of RTL languages, however this is the original text I got from you

 

And the same text with align=right

Now this is the same text, just aligned right.  Can you explain a little further what the problem is?

 

Thanks

Re: Support for rtl languages 

Oh... you have got it reversed at the beginning...
I will try to explain:

The difference writing in rtl direction is that the cursor goes from right to left. If you write a letter, the cursor than be at the left side of it (in English it will be the other way around - the cursor will be in the right).

If for example you write a sentence in Hebrew, and add a comma at the end, the comma should be in the left side of the sentence (As is the case in the edite mode of the item):

However, it will actually be in the right side of it if you don’t use rtl writing direction (as is the case when exiting edit mode):

The following link tries to explain how to embed rtl capabilities in an application, hope it can help:

Thanks.
