Applet configuration window in Arabic

SUMMARY
When opening an applet's settings page, while having configured Linux with an RTL language such as Arabic, the page title is on the left when it should be on the right. I would fix it myself but I'm not familiar with QML. I think the bug is somewhere here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/tree/master/desktoppackage/contents/configuration .

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch computer to Arabic (I assume setting LANG to ar_LB.UTF-8 would suffice, I just installed Fedora KDE in Arabic)
2. Open any applet's configuration

OBSERVED RESULT
Applet configuration category title is on the left.

EXPECTED RESULT
Applet configuration category title is on the right with correct padding.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)

Unfortunately, it is still on the left, yes. I fixed it so it won't partially clip out of view (label padding issue), but the layout as a whole still needs some adjustments.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2025-10-23 19:09:14 UTC 
This appears to be working in Plasma 6.5.0 (tested with `LANGUAGE=ar_AR plasmashell --replace`), if not earlier.
