RTL is reversed

[yarons]

Both Hebrew and Arabic appear in reverse order, example:
Original term: Hello.
Displayed term: olleH.

Is this for https://map.openchargemap.io or something on the openchargemap.org website?

Localisation issues are specific to the app: openchargemap/ocm-app#35

This is map related, both Arabic and Hebrew names (probably other RTL languages too) are rendered in reverse, it has nothing to do with localization.

Thanks can you provide a screenshot of the problem? It depends whether the label displayed is on the map itself (provided by Mapbox) or in a user interface element (which we can influence).

The one on the right should be: ملعب كرة القدم (Soccer playground)
The one on the left should be: مقبرة جـسـر الزرقاء (Jisr A-zarqa cemetery)

This one should be: מנהל חינוך עיריית נתניה (Educational Administration for Netanya Municipality)

I'm not sure which engine renders the names but it's reversing the text.
Edit: Arabic, as opposed to Hebrew is conjoined so the letters appear differently depending on certain environment conditions, in this case, since the rendering is wrong, the conjoining algorithm is not applied leading to completely separate characters in addition to reversing the character order.

Thanks this is the Mapbox code that's rendering that. It looks like they have a special plugin for RTL https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/mapbox-gl-rtl-text/ so I'll look into it.
