Arabic Language

Unity currently doesn't support right to left languages. The best workaround is trying to use bitmaps instead :(

Update we've released the package to the public. Click here for more info

unity don't render your text correctly even if you flip your font or reverse the string. rendering complex script languages like Arabic and Persian (Farsi) needs additional processing. in windows a library called uniscribe does this but you can not use it easily in unity. the renderer should know which character to render. for example we have different shapes of arabic letter "seen" and all of them has the same character in string. we made a solution to solve this problem. email me at ashkan_gc@yahoo.com for more information. also go and vote for right to left support here. our solution is a class that gets the string and replaces the characters with those characters that should be rendered because this part of unity is not scriptable unfortunately. vote for the above feedback and tell other users to do this because our solution is not as good as a built in solution. the standard way of rendering texts like arabic is to put logic in renderer. renderer don't modify the string like our script but instead render the correct character instead of those characters inside the string.

there is a plugin in the asset store developed by a friend that would help you guys type arabic :)

IS there any idea on how to make my font work backword :),like how should i manipulate the font file? or can i add a custom class to do it for me? like manipulating the asset importer to flip it? i need users to write in arabic because im working on a chat application

i will do any scripting required to make it work for right-to-left but i need some guidelines :)
