LibreOffice 26.8 adds automatic right-to-left text detection in Calc

Original: New in # LibreOffice 26.8: Better RTL spreadsheets – Calc automatically detects right-to-left text when entering data in

The LibreOffice project has detailed a new feature coming in version 26.8: the Calc spreadsheet application will automatically detect right-to-left text as users type data into empty cells, cutting down on manual formatting work. The announcement highlights improved support for languages written right-to-left, such as Arabic and Hebrew, and has drawn positive attention from open-source software users.

Why now: The release notes for LibreOffice 26.8 were just published, and improved right-to-left support matters to users of Arabic, Hebrew and other RTL languages.
