Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/3430

What would you like to see?

Description:
First of all, thank you for the amazing work on AnythingLLM! The recent addition of RTL (Right-to-Left) support is a great improvement for Arabic users. However, there is still one issue that makes reading conversations difficult:

🛑 Problem:
While user messages are correctly aligned from right to left, the model responses are still aligned from left to right. This inconsistency creates a frustrating experience for Arabic speakers, especially when a response contains both Arabic and English words. This misalignment can even make sentences unreadable in some cases.

✅ Proposed Solution:

Ensure that model responses are also aligned from right to left when RTL mode is active.
This would greatly improve the user experience for Arabic users and make the conversation more natural and readable.
🎯 Why It Matters:
Arabic is spoken by hundreds of millions of users worldwide, and proper RTL support would make AnythingLLM much more accessible to them. Many Arabic users rely on LLMs for work, learning, and research, and improving readability would enhance their productivity.

We really appreciate your efforts, and we hope you consider this small but very impactful change. Thank you again for your hard work! 😊🚀

In addition to the issue of Arabic alignment when the model responds, there is a problem with ignoring text formatting when entering formatted text; all spaces are removed, and the text appears as a single block. This becomes frustrating when reviewing and revisiting the conversation. Thank you for everything you do to make this possible!

By the way, I use Windows 10 Professional 64bit, and I use French as the interface language for Windows, but I use Arabic for writing and conversation.

Hi :) Hebrew and Arabic are the same RTL-wise, and on switching to Hebrew, I still get the UI of LTR,
Can we align this experience to Arabic and Hebrew both to work on chat and on UI RTL? Thanks much

Use Docker to run Anythingllm will appear on Google Chrome, for example, and from there you can customize it as you want by DeVtool.

Hello,
Can RTL be added as an option to the settings all together?

Isnt RTL a property of the language, so why would that need to be a setting? There are languages that support LTR/RTL and interchangably use both based on the reader preference?

It is, but it also needs to be supported by the app you are suing, unless you want to add extension to handle that. When using anything llm on any device, the RTL becomes a problem without using any external tools and I can't right now simply offer people to use it. So the support for it needs to be added, if we want to be technically correct.
