May be that should be left-left for left-to-right languages and right-right for right-to-left languages. Need to check how it would look like.

Edit:

Copy /usr/share/harbour-mitakuuluu/qml/BubbleDelegate.qml to ~/.whatsapp/delegates/BubbleDelegate.qml and apply following patch.

Code:

             }

Then select BubbleDelegate.qml from settings and there you have it. It does not mirrow the whole UI, it only makes text align naturally either to left or right depending on writing in use.

1) Close or Quit Mitäkuuluu

2) Save the attached file as BubbleDelegate.qml into folder ~nemo/.whatsapp/delegates

3) Start Mitäkuuluu
4) Go to settings
5) Select BubbleDelegate.qml (and not the Bubble)

your issue is solved. Tested with Arabic and Hebrew, text and fonts supporting characters and write used by those languages.

If your right to left written text does not float "correctly" after this change, then you have broken font in use. Thats because writing direction right-to-left is defined by font file, not by application.
