Quire - Quire enables right-to-left (RTL) format — Can't use swipe tasks in mobile app if I use device with RTL language #bug

Status: Completed

Tag: Mobile App Resolved

Update:

Quire now supports right-to-left (RTL) format. You can toggle on the option in the project settings. Read more information on our guide.

For the mobile app, to enable the format, tap on the More options icon at the top right corner of your project and select Project Settings.

Hi Lack of support to RTL languages (like arabic) did result in multiple problem or bugs in web, Android and iOS apps. One of them is: when you use a device with RTL language like arabic, you won't be able to swipe your tasks in meaningful way, swiping will be useless (except for complete swipe), and quire app depend on swiping for some actions that you can't do in another way (like long press for example). So you must change you app language to english (for example) to be able to swipe your tasks.

@sahl - sorry for late update. This issue has been fixed in the latest update version of our mobile app (v. 5.11). However, as I have mentioned before, supporting RTL language is not yet in our plan.

Yes please!!

Thanks @peggy I am sad to read that, as we are facing multiple problems because of this, and some users (some friends for example) usually abandon any app that don't support RTL. I really don't want to happen.

Unfortunately.. your suggestion doesn't do it, I did try alot to do that but failed to touch any option (edit or anything else). Except for completing the task, it is just swiping. Another options will be hidden, and if you try to do your best, you will see them but without touching 😃

@sahl - supporting RTL language is not yet in our short term plan. As for the swiping gestures, you could swipe right on a task to set status and to complete. Swipe the other way to edit or delete the task.

Thanks again @peggy It is working now ! Still.. I hope that you add RTL support to your plan ASAP : )

Hi @yvonne.daher, as for now, we don't have support for RTL language on our mobile app. If we have any updates in the future, we will keep you posted! 💪

@sahl The display of the task name and the buttons will not change places. However, the text format will be enabled with RTL format in the description and comment.

Thanks @peggy this is awesome!

I did enable it on mobile on one project but nothing changed.

Is there another step to enable it ?

Sahl, Jul 27, 2022

@peggy OK, and I hope to see it soon in the most important part: tasks list. And after testing it again on mobile and web, I can confirm that it worked in mobile only (tried it in description)
