workarounds for RTL

Hi
May I ask which workarounds?

[Darren_Murphy]

CSS mostly, I believe.

RTL support should not be up for a vote...it's a must have feature IMHO

Try this Should turn any page to RTL (most of it) <p><style> [data-test="glide-app-bar"] {text-align: center; direction:rtl; } </style></p> <p><style> [data-test="app-text-box"] { text-align: start; direction:rtl; } </style></p> <p><style> [data-test="app-checkbox-list-item"] { text-align: start; direction:rtl; } </style></p> <p><style> [class="sc-jxTFzB ktDwEE"] { text-align:right; direction:ltr; } </style></p> <p><style> [class="legend-item"] { text-align:right; direction:ltr; } </sty…

Hi all,

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

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)

[Elad_Levy]

also building an app in Hebrew, this is our main challenge with it
if we can solve the alignment issue it will be perfect

[nathanaelb]

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

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.

Any news on this? Very disappointed new user here
CSS workarounds posted by members seems to no longer work…

Updates on Requested Features?

Can we please get a roadmap, or even just a comment, on the following features? Some of these have been requested multiple times but have been “in the works” for 2+ years. Their absence is really starting to cause frustration during development and an overall diminished user experience: Floating button Zoom in / Enlarge action for images TRUE offline mode - actually loads offline Native Glide conversion tool to import data from Google Sheets Ability to change the type of text component in use …
