My comments on your gimetria calculator

[ShellyGil]

Hi!
I really liked your Gematria calculator - the structure is clean and easy to follow, and the separation between the dictionaries, the calculation function, and the GUI logic makes the code very readable. The calculate_gematria helper function is especially neat and reusable, and using .get() to safely handle non-alphabetic characters is a smart touch.

The interface looks great too - the consistent color scheme, centered layout, and clear instructions make the GUI feel polished and user-friendly. I also liked the option to switch between Hebrew and English Gematria; the radio buttons are implemented nicely and keep the interaction simple.

One small suggestion: since Hebrew text is right-to-left and Tkinter doesn’t always handle that perfectly, you might consider adding a note or adjusting the alignment for Hebrew inputs to make it even clearer for users. But overall, this is a very nicely designed and implemented GUI project in my opinion.

Hi Shelly,
Thank you very much for your comments!
I see the issue you’re referring to – the ticker stays on the right even when the input text is Hebrew, making it tricky to edit the text in Hebrew (in terms of placing the cursor in the right place). Since Tkinter doesn’t support right-to-left text, and since this issue is only encountered when attempting to edit the text (which ideally is only a word or two, by design) I decided to stick with what I have. I tried workarounds such as changer the placement of the cursor etc. but found all of them to be less convenient for the user than the original format.
If you know of a clean fix, I’d be glad to hear.
