14 14.4 RTL Language Support draft

Epic 14 — Accessibility & Internationalization

Goal: Make CalcPad usable by everyone regardless of ability, language, or locale.

Story 14.4: RTL Language Support

As a user who writes in Arabic or Hebrew, I want the CalcPad interface to mirror for right-to-left languages, So that the layout feels natural and text flows in the correct direction.

Acceptance Criteria:

Given the user's system locale or CalcPad language preference is set to an RTL language (Arabic or Hebrew) When the application renders Then the overall layout is mirrored: sidebar appears on the right, toolbar items are right-aligned, text input is right-aligned And the result column position mirrors accordingly

Given an RTL layout is active When the user types numeric expressions (e.g., 150 * 3) Then numbers and mathematical operators remain in left-to-right order And variable names containing Latin characters remain LTR within the RTL context (bidirectional text handling)

Given an RTL layout is active When mixed content appears (Arabic label text with numeric expressions) Then the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm is applied correctly And the visual order of the expression is mathematically readable

Given the user switches between an RTL and LTR language in settings When the language change is applied Then the layout mirrors or un-mirrors immediately without requiring an application restart
