 * WordPress ties bidirectional text – a feature of the _script_ – to language. 
   This is an obsolete approach and results in endless trouble for many users. First,
   there are RTL languages that use the Hebrew _script_ besides Hebrew. For example,
   Yiddish, which is not one of the languages supported by WordPress. Even if you
   were dealing with the Hebrew _language_, it doesn’t mean you’re fluent and want
   to work in that language – you might now want to have your WordPress be all in
   Hebrew. You should be able to edit Hebrew and Yiddish Hebrew-script text and 
   Arabic and Farsi Arabic-script text no matter what “your language” is. WordPress
   has been ignoring this issue for years, hoping it will go away, but it’s only
   getting worse. There are a billion speakers of “right to left” languages in the
   world, and people want to make WordPress websites for them. For years, the usual
   way of coping with this issue has been to use the WP-RTL plugin ([http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rtl/](http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-rtl/)),
   but that only works with traditional WordPress (TinyMCE) editor, so in addition
   you’ve been unable to use the Block Editor if you wanted this functionality. 
   I’m glad to see there’s now this plugin (plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/atr-inline-rtl-ltr](https://wordpress.org/plugins/atr-inline-rtl-ltr))
   for Block Editor. Thanks for that info [@shresthauzwal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shresthauzwal/)

 * [@t-p](https://wordpress.org/support/users/t-p/) why, is there some reason to
   think it has to do with the theme? I’d like to know, since I’m learning WordPress.
