Original request:
We would like to have support for Hebrew (RTL language) both in search and editing within documents as well.
This would include:
- support for changing text direction in the editor
- proper rendering of Right to Left (RTL) text on Confluence pages
- support for text containing paragraphs or phrases with text in different directions (RTL and LTR)
- indexing and searching support for RTL languages.
Workaround
For Confluence Server, proceed to see the workaround stated in CONFSERVER-1373.
For confluence cloud, this may not help in all situations but you can give this workaround a try:
- Create a new bookmark on your bookmarks bar and add the one line of code(shared below) into the URL section of the bookmark.
- While you are on the confluence edit mode, ensure you click on the page once, then click on the bookmark which will change the direction so the text will flow from right to left as you type.
javascript: document.activeElement.setAttribute('dir', 'rtl');

[CONFCLOUD-1373] Support RTL languages (e.g. Hebrew, Arabic, Persian) for editing and searching
We understand the importance of RTL and Arabic support. To address this, we’ve developed the Arabic for Confluence app, which adds full Arabic language support and RTL alignment to Jira.
This free plugin is now compatible with Confluence 8
https://gitlab.com/shelly.goldblit/confluencetinymce-directionalityplugin/-/releases/v1.0.6
Please star m repo 
This Confluence Server plugin Shelly Goldblit / ConfluenceTinyMCE-DirectionalityPlugin · GitLab was developed 4 years ago and should now be updated so it can be used with Confluence 8.
Any help is welcome.
The comment of Paz Grimberg explains it all, they have an add on now to support RTL, you have to pay extra for it !
Time for moving to Monday and that's it.
Hi, does anyone in Atlassian want to give us some kind of estimation on when it will support Hebrew? because your direct competitor is an Israeli company that natively support Hebrew (Monday)
Doesn't make sense this issue was raised almost 20 years ago and still no solution. You just make customers leave your ecosystem and use other competitor products (ie: dropbox paper, Microsoft loop etc)... it's ridiculous.
Let’s help this issue gather more interest by forwarding it to our coworkers. I’m sure there are many more users than 420 who find this issue important. Let’s work together to get this resolved!
