Facebook has it !
When Writing with an RTL language the ticker goes to the other way which gives a very intuitive experience.
I need this for my community because we are bilingual.
Thanks Discourse .. Love
AI 生成的摘要
The discussion revolves around implementing automatic text direction detection in Discourse based on the content itself, similar to Facebook’s behavior. Users Aymane_Shuichi and Aymane_Shuichi highlight the need for this feature, referencing a Facebook example and suggesting a solution using the dir="auto" HTML5 attribute. ibnesayeed points to an older topic on RTL support, while codinghorror encourages contributors to submit a pull request. hnaseri and hnaseri note the lack of updates and demonstrate that dir="auto" works in most cases, though it fails with <p> tags, requiring <div> tags instead. rassilon1963 confirms the issue persists, especially in mixed-language contexts, and shows that the problem is specific to English forums where Hebrew content is posted, as Hebrew locales handle directionality correctly. sam and sam discuss the issue’s context and confirm it’s mainly a problem in bilingual environments.

@codinghorror, Hi Jeff, do you think this is something we can have in the short term ?
Have a look at an old topic here about RTL support.
https://meta.discourse.org/t/rtl-support/1784
There is a library that automatically sets the direction of each paragraph based on the content.

Sure, submit a pull request with the work if you want it. This is how open source works.
Is there any update for this feature? I desperately need it.
Even if there is a button to change direction of text, when we write english/arabic/persian, would be great.
I just added pr-welcome on this, hopefully a bilingual developer looking for a contribution will look at this one day.

I just found that there is an html5 tag dir=auto that simply works in most situations.
For example I wrote this html
<html>
<body>
<p dir="auto">Write this جمله چپ به راست text left-to-right!</p>
<p dir="auto">این RTL sentence جمله را از راست به چپ بنویس</p>
</body>
</html>
And pasted it in a simple html editor and it works perfectly fine
Could we use the same thing in discourse @sam?
btw I tried dir="auto" with firebug on <p> tags in discourse. However it didn’t do anything. I don’t know why.

多年后，这个问题仍然存在。即使帖子完全用 RTL 语言书写，它也不会自动对齐。
（这是编辑器，但右侧的预览准确地反映了最终产品）
唯一有效的解决方案是添加 <div> 标签。正如 @hnaseri 指出的那样，<p> 不起作用，只有 <div> 才起作用。
我必须说实话，这太糟糕了。肯定有更好的方法，而不是要求用户添加 <div>。事实上，这并不是一个足够好的解决方案，因为如果你只打开你的 div 但不关闭它，其余的文本将被强制到第一行的方向，而不是逐段进行。需要在每个段落前添加另一个 <div> 并不是真正的解决方案。
只是确认一下，这是否尤其是在您偶尔会用希伯来语发帖的英文论坛上出现的问题？（混合语言区域）
因为在希伯来语区域设置下，一切似乎都正常。
有一件事可能对此有帮助：
在工具栏中启用该按钮后，会更容易获得帮助。要启用它，您需要启用设置 支持混合文本方向。
