SUMMARY Please add the RTL interface for the Windows version too. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Please add the RTL interface to the Windows version of the other KDE apps too, because they are currently in LTR in the Windows version.
See all RTL bugs from KDE projects: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=rtl&resolution=--- Interesting one: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379989 Q: which language do you use exactly ?

What do you mean ? The RTL problem only exists under Windows ? Not MacOS or Linux ? The problem exists only in Hebrew, and not Arabic ? Gilles Caulier

I cannot test it on macOS, but it should have RTL interface. The problem should also exist in Arabic.
I don't think that RTL dysfunction under windows is a digiKam technical problem. The code to handle translations and to render string on GUI come from KDE framework. This is why i given a link to kde bugzilla with all entries annotated with "rtl" keyword. I suspect a missing environment variable from host system that KDE framework use to render locale specificity. Under Unix based OS as Linux or MacOS, there are plenty of definition for locale settings. Under Windows, which is not Unix like, i don't know. Gilles Caulier
Q : can you try with Krita application to see if RTL problem exists under Windows too ? Gilles Caulier
Created attachment 137197 [details] The Hebrew interface
Created attachment 137198 [details] The Arabic interface
As i can see, it's not an RTL problem but a uncomplete translations data for these languages. Remmeber that we patch more than 2000 strings in GUI before 7.2.0 release and translators work hard to update i18n for the application (there are more than 30 translation teams as i know). You you reproduce the problem with digiKam 7.1.0 release ? Gilles Caulier

Is there a string to translate to fix this problem?
The incomplete translations should not make the interface be from left to right.
Moved the bug to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440517.
Omeritzics, Hi and happy new year Please take attention to this bugzilla entry where we apply plenty of fixes to improve i18n in digiKam : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438701 And please, make a try of digiKam 7.5.0 pre-release installer for Windows available here: https://files.kde.org/digikam/ A feedback to see if RTL support in digiKam 7.5.0 have been improved will be appreciate.

The bug you mentioned is not related to this bug (the Hebrew i18n team was inactive for a long time, and now gets revived and is migrating to Weblate, but the translation could not be uploaded to KDE until finnishing the migration to Git). Happy new civilian year, Omer I.S.
