Hi All,

I have one question of how to show scrolling (panning) text for BiDi languages e.g. Arabic.

In general, the scrolling BiDi text from left to right would be perceived as if scrolling Latin text from right to left. Sometimes it is more complex since it’s mixed text with digits, Latin letters and so on, e.g. a string like: تقنية Bluetooth™‎ اللاسلكية (Bluetooth™ wireless technology). If this were scrolled from left to right, it would (for an Arabic speaker) appear like:

ogy
nol
tech

less
wire

Blue
tooth™

Do you have any good idea, please? Thanks!

Regards,
