In the right-to-left language, are the window control buttons (minimize, maximize, close) on the left or the right of the window? There shouldn't be any navigation issue right?

I did not expect WebView and SwapChainPanel to get flipped by RTL as well...

Fortunately, the solution is straightforward. I can force certain elements to not flip. Just as I can apply RTL even in English.

Forcing WebView and VideoView to always flow LTR.

@Y-PLONI Are there more UI elements or layouts that you think look off in Hebrew? Do the sliders and buttons behave correctly, and are they in the expected spots?

Can you force normal view in both windows store and file explorer?
Right now the situation is that things are changing there...
here:

I assume you don't know Hebrew, so I'll just explain that the word Screenbox should have been at the beginning. Also note the position of the "."
I was thinking of just changing everything in the translation... I mean, pushing the words so that they are in the correct position after Windows flips them... but if you have the ability to force, everything will be easier.

Actually, that's what I did in the ManifestResources.resw file...

I see we don't flip the icons, we should for most of them right?

Also we have to take into consideration the backslash on some of them. Like this:

I didn't understand what you meant. Can you explain more?

Forgive my limited knowledge on this area, but I recall that some icons need to be flipped (e.g. the volume glyph, etc.) and after reviewing some documentation it seems to confirm that (except for those indicating directionality and right handedness).

@Y-PLONI Can you take a look at #434 to see if that looks right to you?

@huynhsontung Looks great!
Of course, until you see it in the software itself - you can't know clearly...

@huynhsontung Is there a release with the fix, or not?
I didn't see any update in Windows Store.

@Y-PLONI Yes, there will be a new release. Store publishing takes from a few hours to a few days. It's going to be available for download in the preview channel first, then in the main public channel later. I will also fix the store listing when it goes into the public channel.

How do you subscribe to the preview channel?

@Y-PLONI I must add your Store account on my end using your Store email. You can send me an email at [email protected]

I suggest you put in the settings "subscribe to the preview channel". It could be MAILTO.

@huynhsontung
Everything is great, just a little something...

@huynhsontung
Could you please add RTL here? thanks! I have already installed the app on several computers... everyone loves it!!!

By the way, I couldn't find where to translate the titles media, music, file

@Y-PLONI You are right, the header texts for Media, Music, File are not properly localized. It will be fixed in the next patch.

I also just noticed that the title bar offset issue affects the app title and the player title bar, which is quite serious. In LTR, that space is reserved for the window controls. I'm surprised that it doesn't get flipped properly, considering if I force-enable RTL in English, the issue does not appear.

@huynhsontung
True, but it doesn't matter. The window controls just move to another place.
Are there any other controls that are disappearing?
I would love to see a screenshot of the software, as it looks on you.

@Y-PLONI The above PR should fix the title bar padding issue and properties dialog RTL issue.

@huynhsontung
why is it in english Where should I translate it?

Thank you very much!!!

@Y-PLONI These errors are emitted from VLC and shown as-is. We don't map them to a localized string so translation is impossible.

@huynhsontung It's a good call but there's an alternative solution: adding a human readable translatable explanation to the original error message, this way the user can still search for the original message and find solutions on the internet while understanding the error in its own language.
(Thanks @Y-PLONI)

@huynhsontung
The top image is correct, the bottom is reversed.
It was fine before. Something went wrong with the update.
Also in the song playback window the image is reversed.
