Small Change, Big Impact for Global Teams - Right-to-Left (RTL) Support in Comments PLEASE
Hi Wrike team and community 👋
I’d love to propose a small but meaningful enhancement:
👉 Add right-to-left (RTL) text direction support to comments.
Currently, RTL formatting is already supported in the description field, which is great! So, I imagine extending that functionality to comments and titles would not require major development — and could make a huge difference for teams working in RTL languages like Arabic, Farsi, Hebrew and others.
🗣️ In many global or bilingual teams, it’s common to write comments that mix languages (e.g., whatever language WITH English), which can get messy or hard to read without proper text alignment. This small formatting option would bring clarity, consistency, and professionalism to our day-to-day communication.
Beyond convenience, this is really a matter of accessibility and inclusion.
In today’s work environment, platforms like Wrike are used by teams across the world. Supporting RTL in all text fields isn’t just a technical improvement — it’s a signal that Wrike sees and values all of its users, no matter what language they work in.
✨ A small fix. A big impact.
Would love to see this considered in future updates — and happy to help test or offer feedback if it moves forward!
Thanks so much 🙏
+1 if this matters to you too! 👍🏻
Just to add — we already have RTL in the task descriptions, so I imagine extending this to comments wouldn’t be too technically complex. It’s a relatively small UX tweak that could have a big impact on usability and inclusiveness.
Upvoted! This doesn't impact me per se, but I do believe that Wrike should be accessible to all! Great that it's already supported in descriptions (didn't know!), so it only makes sense to extend this to comments as well :)
Thank you for your suggestion, Elise Engber! 😊 You are absolutely right: supporting right-to-left (RTL) text direction in all text fields—including comments and titles—would be a significant improvement for Wrike users who work in languages such as Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi, and others.
We have already shared this feedback with our product team, and we will let you know if there are any updates in the future. Thank you! 😊👍🏽

Hello Basudha Sakshyarika, can we get an update on this feature please?
thanks Amer Chaar for chiming in as well! I hope this can be implemented soon!
I also noticed that although i can do right to left in the description - when I make an automatic recurring task the recurring ones reformat to left to right and it is very inconvenient.
Welcome to the Community, Amer Chaar! 🎉 Thanks for checking in. There aren’t any updates on this right now, but we’ll keep the thread updated if there’s any news. 👍🏽
To move things forward, we’ll need more upvotes and interest from other community members before we can add a status. You can read more about how that works here. Thanks!

Hi Basudha Sakshyarika, we are also interested in this important update. I truly believe that this option will be highly appreciated in Arab country, Hebrew and more. According to my last check, approximately, 900 Million people using RTL.
🎉Happy new year 🎉
