Notion is an incredibly powerful tool used by millions worldwide, but it currently lacks proper RTL (Right-to-Left) text direction support for languages like Persian (Farsi), Arabic, Hebrew, and Urdu.
Why this matters:
  • Large user base:
    Millions of users in the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia use Notion daily and struggle with text alignment issues
  • Professional use cases:
    Educators, content creators, and businesses teaching or working in RTL languages face significant formatting challenges
  • Competitive disadvantage:
    Other productivity tools (Obsidian, Craft, etc.) have already implemented RTL support, making Notion less attractive for RTL language users
  • Accessibility:
    Proper text direction is a basic accessibility feature for native speakers of RTL languages
What we need:
  1. Automatic RTL text direction detection
  2. Manual toggle option for mixed-language content
  3. Proper alignment for headings, lists, and callouts
  4. RTL support in databases and tables
Impact:
This feature would unlock Notion's full potential for hundreds of millions of RTL language speakers and significantly expand Notion's global reach.
Thank you for considering this long-requested feature! 🙏
