Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The issue can be addressed by adjusting the text direction handling for Arabic and Hebrew languages in the Claude Code output.

Guidance

• Verify that the Claude Code version 1.4758 correctly handles RTL languages by checking the documentation or release notes for any known issues or updates related to text direction.
• Test the output with prompts containing only Arabic or Hebrew text to isolate the issue and confirm if the problem occurs when English text is mixed with these languages.
• Consider reaching out to the Anthropic API support or the Claude Code community to report the regression and ask for guidance on potential workarounds or fixes.
• Review any configuration options or parameters in the Claude Code or Anthropic API that might influence text direction handling for RTL languages.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more details on the implementation, but adjusting the text direction based on language detection could involve using libraries or functions that handle RTL languages correctly.

Notes

The solution might depend on the specific implementation details of the Claude Code and Anthropic API, which are not fully provided in the issue. The fact that this worked in a previous version suggests a regression, which should be reported to the developers.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Given the regression nature of the issue and the lack of information on a fixed version, applying a workaround, such as manually handling text direction for Arabic and Hebrew outputs or using an external library for language detection and text direction correction, might be the most viable immediate solution.
