Does Micro.blog Support Arabic & RTL Languages?

Hi everyone!

I’m trying to write posts in Arabic on Micro.blog, but I’ve noticed that right-to-left (RTL) text doesn’t seem to display properly. Does anyone know if Micro.blog officially supports Arabic and other RTL languages?

Are there any workarounds or custom CSS tweaks that might help with proper text alignment and formatting? I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with this!

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome, Hamza! While I can’t speak for @manton, I’m pretty sure he’s not actively preventing RTL languages from working on Micro.blog. :blush: That said—and I’m just guessing here—since Micro.blog is run by a small team and most of its customers write in LTR languages, RTL support might not have received as much attention.

Could you clarify where you’re seeing issues? Is it on your actual blog or in the Micro.blog timeline? And is the problem happening on the web or in one of the apps?

From my limited knowledge of Arabic (it’s close to 0% :blush:), it looks like your posts display correctly on your blog (thanks to custom CSS changes), but not in the Micro.blog timeline. Is that right?
