As a content editor, I want database translation fields for Hebrew and Arabic content in the admin site to render text RTL, so that I can read and edit the content properly.

testing notes

Test RTL alignment for Hebrew and Arabic text inputs in the following places in django admin:
(may require a hard refresh to load the new styles)

• document type name and label
• document description
• scholarship record source title
• scholarship record creator first and last name

---

Describe the bug
When adding Hebrew/Arabic content for a document description, the text stays in a left-adjusted format and therefore it is difficult to add proper punctuation at the end of a line.

To reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to admin site
2. Click on a document
3. Try to add Hebrew or Arabic descriptive text (ex. PGPID 8962)
4. See error

Expected behavior
Text box automatically adjusts to RTL format when Hebrew/Arabic is typed or pasted in.

I only tested document description, and it was still justified left. I didn't understand document type name and label — should I be inputting a new type, but in He or Ar?

@rlskoeser still not RTL in Hebrew or Arabic for the document types

[kseniaryzhova]

@rlskoeser tried to add new creator and source title in Arabic and Hebrew - still justified left as well. (Same with document descriptions)

[rlskoeser]

@kseniaryzhova could you do a hard refresh just to be sure you're getting the new styles? And let me know what browser you're testing, in case that matters.

@rlskoeser I'm on Chrome (PC), and the hard refresh doesn't change anything

@rlskoeser testing on the test admin, it all works with a few hard refreshes!
