Fixing Arabic RTL Support and Auto-titling

Hello Team,

As a long-time user of Google’s AI tools (since the early days of Bard), I believe Google AI Studio is currently the best platform for developers and AI enthusiasts. However, there are two critical UX issues affecting the Arabic-speaking community that need attention:

  1. Comprehensive RTL (Right-to-Left) & BiDi Support:
    The current interface lacks proper RTL rendering. This is more than just alignment; it’s a Bidirectional (BiDi) text issue.
  • When mixing Arabic with English terms or code, the text becomes scrambled and logical ordering is lost.
  • Punctuation and parentheses appear in the wrong positions.
  • Mathematical equations within Arabic sentences are rendered incorrectly.
    Expected Fix: Implementation of proper CSS directionality (e.g., direction: auto or unicode-bidi: plaintext) for chat messages and the prompt editor.
  1. Language-Aware Conversation Titling:
    Currently, the auto-titling feature defaults to English even when the entire conversation is in Arabic. This makes managing and searching through chat history difficult for us. We need the titling model to respect the conversation’s primary language.

Improving these points would significantly enhance accessibility for millions of Arabic users. I would love to see these features added to the roadmap!
