Hmm... Grum fixed this for Arabic, and did something for bi-directional languages in general, but Hindi may require some more tweaking.
the arabic language in minecraft It's not written correct manner , letters are not connected with each other and the letters should start from right to left (not from left to right as in the game) this problem existed before in the "pc version" (MC-784) (This problem appears when typing in the chat or whan typing on signs).
...
Thanks for understanding I hope to add Arabic language in the game soon.
NOTE :This issue does not relate to a specific device
NOTE: The issue relates to MCPE-9189
Arabic is an RTL language and its letters are connected together to make the words, Arabic has a lot of issues in Minecraft, please work to fix it otherwise a lot of players who are not good in English will stop playing the game.
MC-35765 describe this issue but MC-35765 when you use another language but now from 1.15.x, we have more problems, until 1.15.2 when you use Arabic and restart the game you find the words not connected in all the game and you need to click on language button and it will fix automatically but in the last snapshots of 1.16 it's broken !!! and clicking on lang button don't fix it.
Arabic word should look like: خشب
and it looks like: خشب
this bug has been in the game in old versions 1.4,1.5 ... but it fixed
bugs related to Arabic:
thanks for reading
It took me a while to figure out your problem, please modify your Description and Title to say something like 'Arabic text shadows have wrong offset'.
It's a road without end if we're going to make specialized renders for each and every language that doesn't work with stand-alone glyphs.
The issue I believe is being reported is that the characters are separated when Arabic is displayed with essentially zero kerning (see the examples at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_language#Examples )
It's worth bearing in mind that Arabic script is the second most popular script after Latin, so this isn't necessarily a "single language" issue.
Can you close this report and open this one
MC-13194Thanks
This ticket is resolved.
Dinnerbone has told two people to post this on the tracker. I'm not sure he's aware of the resolution; it's possible he intends to fix it even if Grum does not.

We're considering adding some metadata so you guys can play with that to get the 'right kerning' - not super high on the things to do list though
(needs some extra changes as well).
There Are Thousands Of Arabic Players Play Minecraft Daily And Upload It To Youtube , So I Think It's A Must To Fix The Arabic Language For Us , We Paid For The Game And We Supported It , So Mojang Must Support The Arabic Language And Fix It , At The End Thanks For Everything And I Hope You Fix It As Soon As Possible
Regards , Arabic Player
As this issue is currently resolved as "Won't Fix", which prevents users from voting on it, I suggest that anyone that cares about it vote on
MC-10426, which is the issue for the custom kerning Grum mentioned as a solution for this issue.So if we voted on
MC-10426and maked a lot of people vote mojang gonna fix the arabic language???This should be marked as resolved, since Arabic is already fixed long long time ago, in 13w36a it is I think, if that's the first Minecraft 1.7 snapshot.
