RTL Support

Use this template if you want to request a new feature, or a change to an
existing feature.

If you are reporting a bug or problem, please use the bug template instead.

Summary

I would like the components to have RTL support. This may require both dev and design.

I would also like to have the RTL knob added to storybook so RTL design can be assessed directly from storybook.

Justification

Different languages have the opposite page orientation for text. The UI should be able to adapt to these language changes.

Desired UX and success metrics

If the UI doesn't blow up when RTL is enabled then its a win 🎉

"Must have" functionality

Components support RTL

Available extra resources

I can go through components and submit PRs as we go once RTL addon is added to storybook.

Hi 👋 would you want to start with CARBON_REACT_STORYBOOK_USE_RTL? (Ref)

Also please refer to our g11n guide, too.

[davidicus]

Thanks. Will do!

[asudoh]

OK let me close this for now - If there are any specific RTL issues feel free to enter ones!

[davidicus]

I will do. @asudoh are there any plans for the Carbon team to work on RTL support in your roadmap?

We've had a few issues regarding RTL from teams and resolved them, so we're assuming it is working correctly. If you encounter any specific RTL issues definitely create an issue so we can tackle it, as we'd consider it a bug.
