RTL problem formatting word_level time stamps

[hashefa]

I'm not sure if it has to do with your code, but RTL subtitles with the word_level timestamps get reversed and not showing correctly. Any idea how to fix it? Great work!

I haven't tested it on RTL languages. Could you provide an example of what it produced and what it is supposed to be?

This should be:

The latest version should now support RTL format.

result.to_srt_vtt('subtitles.srt', rtl=True)

or --rtl true for cli

I'll check it out. Thank you so much!

The original issue comes from the concatenation of the English tags with RTL languages. So this new version does not resolve this issue (but only allows LTR languages to be formatted like RTL). Can you confirm if the RTL text is displays correctly if you disable the per word highlighting? With this:

result.to_srt_vtt('subtitles.srt', word_level=False)

without word level it was fine also before, is there a way to fix the tags with rtl text?

Seems to be a video player issue. The tags work fine with VLC on my end. But other players seem to suffer from this issue.

Hello I was using stable ts with rtl in cli but --rtl flag was a little misleading it could be no arg flag like -y
