Right To Left Support

[tarek903]

Hi,
first of all i'd like to thank you for this framework but i have a question . i there any plane for this framework to support right to left languages ?

Hello @tarek903, good question. The reason I have not implemented it yet is because the App Store does not switch the direction of the star rating control in Arabic:

I am not a right-to-left language user, so I have a question. Is it normal to keep the direction the same for the stars as in English in right-to-left language countries? Or should the star control be flipped?

[tarek903]

yea the stars should be flipped

Thanks, @tarek903, this needs to be done then.

one approach is reversing everything, swap your empty color with fill color, and minus rank from max rank
rank is 3.5 --> 3 and half filled star and one and half empty star
==> 3.5 - 5 = 1.5 ---> one and half empty, 3 and half filled
when your swap empty and fill colors, cosmos looks like right to left 😄

Hehe, clever hack!

@farshadjahanmanesh Wow .. That actually works thanks

Cosmos now supports right-to-left languages from version 8.0. Thanks for your help @tarek903 and @farshadjahanmanesh. Please let me know if notice any issues.

Hello,

Update version 8.0.1 in my project, work with an application and a framework that generates error when building it by UIApplication.shared of the RightToLeft support. Can you support framework with API extension?

Thanks...

@nemexyz, thank you for reporting this. I have removed UIApplication.shared from the code and released version 8.0.2. Let me know if it still does not compile. The side effect of this, unfortunately, is that right-to-left only works for iOS 9+.
