SUMMARY
The text in RTL languages is reversed and aligned to left.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Optional: Use a RTL language (Hebrew, Arabic, etc.)
2. Type text in a RTL language (for example: "טקסט בעברית ونص بالعربيّة")
3. Then, you can see the text is not displayed correctly.

OBSERVED RESULT
The text in RTL languages is reversed and aligned to left.

EXPECTED RESULT
The text in RTL languages is aligned to right and not reversed.
