Description

Hello, Thanks for the Awesome project!

it would be nice if it could support RTL writing direction, as currently everything is wrriten as LTR, which breaks the setance sequence when having LTR and RTL languages togather.

I changed the writing direction to RTL in the text box, to show how it should appear. The final comment is flipped. Screenshot from 2022-07-12 02-56-10

Research direction
Investigate the current CSS layout in the comment engine, particularly the text direction and alignment properties. The provided resource rtlstyling.com offers guidance on implementing RTL support. Look for existing CSS files that handle the comment box and display; consider adding a `dir` attribute or using logical properties. Testing should ensure both LTR and RTL languages display correctly.
