How to deal with inputs in the rtl version of the site?

Question

HTML

The bidi algorithm decides whether to display characters from left to right, or vice versa, and it does not always do this without problems .
Suppose there is a site with multilingual support, including rtl languages. And there is an input on this site for entering a phone number in a free format.
If you enter numbers in a row, or through a hyphen, then there are no problems, but the reaction to spaces raises questions for me.
I sketched an example . The numbers are the same in all cases, but entered with different separators - try adding a space somewhere.
A question for people experienced in such matters: is it necessary to do something about this, or is the problem sucked out of thin air and everyone is happy with everything?

Answer 1

I read your article and came up with a solution:

<input type="text" value="123456" dir="ltr" style="text-align: right" />

Such a scam :)

Answer 2

I live in Israel. The Hebrew language is RTL. Checked now, for the sake of interest. Each site dodges as best it can (I apologize in advance for a lot of pictures + put some of the large pictures under the spoiler):
www.orange.co.il/ - the site of a mobile operator - there you need to enter your phone number as a login. They allow both hyphens and spaces, and everything always looks right. Oops - this "login box" is suddenly written in Adobe Flash :-)

www.cellcom.co.il/ - site of the mobile operator No. 2 - SUDDENLY the same problem as you (this is considering that Israel has 2 state languages - Hebrew and Arabic - both RTL)

www.pelephone.co.il/ - mobile operator site No. 3 - the web form instantly erases any characters entered, except for numbers.

www.hotmobile.co.il - mobile operator number 4 - separates the prefix (operator code) and the phone number itself into 2 different fields:

www.golantelecom.co.il/ - mobile operator No. 5 - like No. 4, divided into prefix and number

Hidden text

www.bezeq.co.il/ - landline (non-cellular) phone operator - same problem as mobile operator #2

In general, if you are both a customer and a performer, I would rather make a prefix a separate field, it will be the most understandable and will always work. And if you are just a performer, then show the customer my 6 examples, and let him decide for himself :-) There is no standard even in a country with a state RTL language, as you can see.
Hope it helped you somehow.
