Right-to-Left (RTL) Text Support in Video Sequence Editor

Hi.
I want to make blender my "default" for Video Editing. because I love using blender and I'm comfortable with it.
BUT there is something in the way...
you know... it's about writing in my language. it's wrong and unreadable.

the problem is the software just support Left-to-Right (LTR) languages such as English. my language written from right to left therefore when i write in blender the letters seperate from each other AND ordered invert. (start sentence from last letter and end it with first letter)

here is an example:
correct: شمس و قمر
when we seperate its letters: ش‌م‌س و ق‌م‌ر
invert: رم‌ق و س‌م‌ش

the last one is what is shown in blender.

this problem is common with softwares that doesn't support RTL direction such as Unity. softwares like inkscape that support it will show it correctly. maybe there is some useful code for it in there or maybe in articles in internet. i don't know so much about technical stuff...

it's a screenshot of it: Screenshot (8).png (in case you're curious شمس و قمر means: the Sun and the Moon)

I hope it will fixed soon so we can use this lovely software for more projects. ❤
