Arabic Language Support / RTL text

[MartinThoma]

A user at https://stackoverflow.com/q/75050321/562769 offered to help us with improving the support for Arabic. Are there any specific cases where we were uncertain? Anything specific we can ask?

Thank you already for your help @karenlmcneil 🤗
If you want, I can add you as a contributor: https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/meta/CONTRIBUTORS.html :-) Just let me know which name (McNeil, Karen?) and which link (e.g. https://github.com/karenlmcneil ? ) I should add :-)

[karenlmcneil]

Sure! Although I guess that means I'll have to actually add something to my Github profile ... And, yes, that name and link are correct

If you need anything else, send me an email. (I don't use this site very often, so I might not see a message for a long time.)
