Can't Use Urdu for Nominating Wayspots

[HarutoSora]

In Pakistan, Urdu is the most widely used and understood language.

However, players here are required to use English for nominations. As shown in the attached images, when I attempted to write a sentence in Urdu, the words were transformed into individual alphabets rather than remaining as complete words to form coherent sentences.

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

This bug not only disrupts the intended meaning but also poses a significant problem for local players. Many players here are more comfortable with Urdu and may not be as proficient in English. As a result, this issue could severely limit their ability to express themselves, participate in nominations, and fully engage with the community. The forced conversion of complete words into disjointed alphabets can lead to miscommunication and discourage participation, ultimately underrepresenting local players’ contributions.

I kindly request that this issue be investigated further to ensure a more inclusive and accessible experience for all players.
Thank you in advance.

Long ongoing reverse text bug with Hebrew

Decided it may be a good time to revive this one from the old forum. Description of the issue: when creating new submissions using either Pokemon Go or Ingress, while using Hebrew for typing titles/descriptions/supporting information, the text appears to be put in the reverse order (from left to right instead of from right to left). BUT, it’s only a visual illusion - if you go through with the process and submit the “reversed” text, it appears in the right order during reviews and on the in-g…

It seems that all left to right languages are broken for years already.
However, if you type it in correctly, to my understanding, despite the visual fail within Pokemon GO, wayfarer should display it correctly. Did I understand that correctly?

FYI: this could be an issue in Ingress as well. We’re nominating Wayspots, not stops/gyms for PoGo or portals for Ingress. You may want to update the title of this thread to say Wayspots instead of Pokestops.

As far as I’m aware, the bug doesn’t exist with Arabic. At least not that I’ve seen in the years I’ve been reviewing nominations from Arabic-speaking countries.
It might just be that the bug got fixed for Arabic, being a widely spoken language, but that wasn’t the case with less popular languages (Hebrew, Urdu, etc.)

[HarutoSora]

Done, changed it to waysopts. I’m also playing Ingress Prime, and I’ve observed that in Ingress Prime all PokéStops are portals. I haven’t progressed much in Ingress Prime yet since it’s not a popular game here, and to be honest, it’s not easy to fully understand. Additionally, I haven’t met any other players of this game in this yet.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. You describe a known issue with right-to-left language support that has already been brought up by communities who use these languages, and thank you for documenting yet another instance of this. Since this is the same bug I would like to merge your report to the existing bug thread by @SilverLyra regarding the same problem to reinforce that message and to hopefully attract more attention to this issue.

However I also see you make requests related to satellite imagery (which Wayfarer can’t improve for you) and Power Spots, which are rather in Pokémon GO’s remit and not Wayfarer’s, if you are talking about imports. These are unrelated to the language bug and not something that can be addressed on this forum or considered a Wayfarer-related bug. If this is something you’d like to discuss with the community you are welcome to start a separate thread. I’ll remove that from the post when merging.
