RTL languages and string operators

guy
I am starting work on an application that needs to be fully globalized hence
needs to support RTL languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. I have been reading
up on this but am not sure how a string operator such as Right(MyString,3)
would work with an RTL language.

anyone any experience?

RTL only affects how the string is displayed on screen, not how it's
stored in memory. Right(MyString,3) will return the last three
characters in the string regardless if they would be drawn rightmost
or leftmost.
