RTL support for Hebrew in Claude Code web interface #72580

Description

@elgrablidudu-prog

Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
  • This is a single feature request (not multiple features)

Problem Statement

Please add RTL (right-to-left) support for the Claude Code web interface.

When writing in Hebrew or Arabic, the chat messages should be aligned
right-to-left. Currently all text is displayed LTR which makes Hebrew
responses hard to read.

Expected: Hebrew text aligned right, proper RTL layout
Current: All text forced to LTR regardless of language

Proposed Solution

Add CSS direction: rtl and text-align: right to chat messages
when Hebrew/Arabic text is detected. Similar to how claude.ai
website already handles RTL text.

Alternative Solutions

Found a community patch: https://github.com/shraga100/claude-desktop-rtl-patch
but it only works for Claude Desktop (Windows app), not the web interface.

Priority

High - Significant impact on productivity

מה הוא עושה:

מוסיף תמיכת RTL (עברית) לממשק של Claude Desktop
מזהה טקסט עברי ומיישר אוטומטית לימין
שומר על קוד ונוסחאות ב-LTR
כדי להתקין אותו — תריץ את זה ב-PowerShell על המחשב שלך:

Additional Context

I use Claude Code web interface daily for Hebrew development work.
The mixed Hebrew/English text in responses is very hard to read
because Hebrew words appear in wrong order (LTR instead of RTL).
This affects daily productivity significantly.
