Hi all,

Now that CSS is about to go down from apps, we need your support more than ever.

[https://community.glideapps.com/t/ncm-what-is-it-and-why-do-glide-experts-keep-mentioning-it/43387](https://community.glideapps.com/t/ncm-what-is-it-and-why-do-glide-experts-keep-mentioning-it/43387)

Please vote for RTL support.

I use Glide in Hebrew, and not giving support to RTL makes it very difficult to use.  
As I understand it, now it will also not be possible to become RTL using CSS either, which will surely prevent me from setting up more apps and looking for another solution.  
Really a shame 😕

a huge client of mine is a charity in Israel for Hebrew speaking families, when will right to left support be added? (when css will brake they might have to leave the platform)

Whether right-to-left is natively supported soon or not, you will still be able to use custom CSS for right-to-left text:

> [@warning Unsupported HTML/CSS in the Rich Text component will completely break in the coming weeks](https://community.glideapps.com/t/unsupported-html-css-in-the-rich-text-component-will-completely-break-in-the-coming-weeks/43931/81):
>
> Also, to clear up a potential misunderstanding: we’re not disabling custom CSS. It’ll still be possible

So you’ll need to update the CSS that will break.

I like Glide Apps and looking forward to do a lot with it but RTL is essential for Arabic, Hebrew and Persian.
