dir=auto for comments

[yarons]

Describe the issue

When adding a comment in Hebrew (or Arabic, Farsi, Kurdish, etc.) for a string the comment is aligned according to LTR regardless of the script.

The comment editing dialog showing the text aligned to the left while the visual character is aligned right.
If the entire comment starts with an RTL script (it's a problem when I'm mentioning someone) all the text is aligned right.

I already tried

• I've read and searched the documentation.
• I've searched for similar issues in this repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Go to some term for translation
2. Switch to the comment section
3. Write the following comments (write the first one, then delete and write the second one):
   '@nijel שלום לך'
   'שלום לכולם'
4. See error

Expected behavior

Text should be aligned right when most of the text or at least the beginning is in RTL script.

Additional context

I truly like the way Weblate supports RTL languages, we should keep the momentum :)

There used to be dir="auto" but it was removed in 29b8091 (probably unintentionally). However for me it makes no difference - it still renders as LTR when the text starts with LTR text (user mention). The only way to make it RTL is using dir="rtl".

But it'll break English (LTR) comments in RTL interface :(

[nijel]

We can do this based on the language

[yarons]

Of the comments itself? That sounds good.

[nijel]

Of the language being commented, that usually matches the language of the comment.
