Adobe sucks and they don't even care AT ALL! this issue has been prune for years now, and they don't give a simple care not even replying to our isssues or caring about us, yes you pay for such stupid application with so much missing features! 

Please learn Figma and use Figma, screw Adobe XD the management and team behind it are simply racist or they don't care about their product!

Why is is that every time I need the most BASIC function imaginable, which is for some inexplicable reason not present in the system, something to the level of "support for a language used by millions of people", I always find myself in a page like this with someone requesting the same BASIC function 2 or even 4 years old, and nothing has been done?! Redirecting to feature request completely dead?!

 

XD is a broken app they make us pay for, I wouldn't touch with a mile long stick if some customers, trapped in the Adobe net, would not request it. Figma is light years ahead this trash because they listen to their users.

It's really strange that it works just fine in preview and even if you preview it on mobile as well!

Adobe Please fix this issue, please don't ignore it any more it has been a known issue for years now!

The fact is Adobe XD doesn't have a proper Arabic support yet. Having said that, there are some tricks to reveal Arabic text on your Design page, but you need to test it on your prototype later.

 

Type your Arabic text, highlight what you just typed, switch between Area Type, and Point type options as shown below…
