Many users have asked if we support RTL (Right to Left) languages.
While we don't have RTL support built in to Workflowy just yet, a user has created a chrome extension that supports right-to-left languages:

Hopefully you will support rtl soon
I have been using Workflowy in Hebrew, which is an RTL language, for a couple of years. I'm comfortable with English, so the fact that the bullets are on the left doesn't bother me. I have outlines in both English and Hebrew and switch between them with no problem. I imagine it's the same with Arabic or Farsi. I don't do a lot of tagging, but tags work fine in Hebrew as well as English. So, although it would be nice if the bullet interface was on the right side when I make an outline in Hebrew, it works fine with an RTL language. People should know.
While I appreciate Danielbu's response and personally agree with it, there are more than a few users who will find the UI's left-to-right directionality off-putting and therefore will forego using this app rather than gain considerably from using it.
I believe there's is a fairly large share of potential users who use Right-to-Left language, as Danielbu noted, and am hopeful that this issue can and will be resolved soon and in all platforms.
