Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the autocomplete logic in the TeXstudio source code, focusing on how text direction is handled, especially for RTL scripts like Persian. Look for any filtering that might exclude non Latin characters or script specific processing. Check the completion popup trigger conditions to see if they are language dependent.
