Hello AppFlowy team,

I’m an Arabic user of your wonderful application.
However, I’ve noticed a few issues related to the Arabic language and other right-to-left (RTL) languages in general.

When I switch the app’s language to Arabic, the overall layout remains left-to-right, which causes several display problems in the text. In addition, many interface terms are still untranslated.
On mobile, when I start typing, the page title appears inside the header background instead of below it, which makes the design look less clean. On the desktop version, the title is placed below the header with the logo above it, and that looks much more elegant. Applying the same layout to mobile would make it more visually pleasing and comfortable for the eye.
Some settings available on the desktop version are missing on mobile, such as the option to choose whether the main page title aligns from right to left or left to right. There is also more flexibility on desktop when adding, moving, or deleting elements — it feels smoother overall.
Finally, to enhance the user experience, it would be great to add an option to disable the AI assistant, since many users may not need AI features in this particular type of app.

Thank you very much for your amazing work and your constant effort to improve AppFlowy.

Best regards,
An Arabic user with experience in programming and UI design
