Frequently Asked Questions

What is text direction?
Text direction is how text is displayed. LTR (Left-to-Right) is used for English, Hindi, and Tamil. RTL (Right-to-Left) is used for Urdu, Arabic, and Hebrew.
How does auto-detection work?
The tool scans Unicode ranges. It checks for LTR scripts like Latin or Devanagari versus RTL scripts like Arabic or Urdu to decide the main flow.
What are Unicode directional marks?
These are invisible codes like LRM/RLM that force direction. They help when mixing English names within Urdu sentences, or vice versa.
When should I use Force Reverse?
Use this to flip text completely. It is helpful for testing how an English interface looks when forced into an RTL layout for a client demo.
How do I handle mixed LTR and RTL text?
Use 'Auto Direction'. It lets the browser decide flow based on the first strong character. This is best for posts on social media or blogs with mixed languages.
How do I fix Arabic text that appears reversed or disconnected in WhatsApp?
This usually happens when Arabic text is copied from a source that strips direction information, so letters render left-to-right and word order flips. Paste the text here, choose RTL as the target direction, add RLM marks if needed, then copy the result back into WhatsApp — the control characters travel with the text and keep it readable in chats on Android and iPhone.
How do I write right-to-left text correctly in Microsoft Word?
Word handles RTL natively: set the paragraph direction with Ctrl+Right Shift (or Paragraph → Text Direction → Right-to-left) and enable the Arabic keyboard in Windows language settings. Use this converter to repair text that was typed or imported without those settings — wrap it with RLE/PDF marks here, then paste it into Word with the correct paragraph direction already applied.
How do I keep RTL text aligned properly in Photoshop?
In Photoshop, enable the Middle Eastern text engine (Preferences → Type → Choose Text Engine Options → Middle Eastern and North African), then use the Paragraph panel to set right-to-left direction. For mixed Arabic and Latin layers, fix the string here first — per-line direction and Unicode marks prevent the classic broken punctuation and mirrored brackets inside Photoshop text layers.
