As it turns out, I do all three of these things and I am building up a good amount of mixed-language notes. Evernote, in some ways, is a perfect tool to organize, index, and search that kind of thing. It is currently true of researchers studying ME terrorism, the Israeli-Palestinian crisis, or other similar issues. This is also clearly going to be true of anyone doing original language Bible or Koran study. Many people learning a Semitic language (including Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic, etc) need to write notes, vocabulary, add glosses (short definitions) to text, or record references (like the gentlemen in this thread with Strong's concordance numbers (LTR) intersperesed with RTL text, Syriac was it?). I will talk a little about use cases and maybe some alternatives for making support easier. The Evernote folks should know that this is STILL an issue.
#Simplenote support plus
I pay for an annual subscription and do not receive the basic service of Semitic language support.įor what it is worth, I am currently a Premium User and have been either Plus or Premium for some time. I have also addressed the same issue several times. I am still trying, since Evernote is extremely important to me, but I am very close to give up and move to a different solution. The new editor is simply impossible to work with for Semitic language speakers. And mixing English words in between Semitic words simply cause a total chaos. All punctuation marks (.,!?) jump to the start of the sentence instead of its end. Bullets to start each item are on the left, so I see them at the end of each sentence instead of its beginning. The sentences are written right-to-left, but they start from left.
Please do try it yourself - please try to choose a Semitic language and try to write from right to left. Now that you have launched a totally new editor, I was very hopeful - but to my huge disappointment, the Right-to-Left support is now much much much worse !! The old editor had some very painful issues with that, and I wrote to you many times in the past few years asking to improve. I simply cannot grasp how can Evernote simply not care about so many thousands of people around the globe - all Arabic, Hebrew, Persian speakers are having terrible experience and not only waste so much time every day trying to work-around the proboem, but more than that - it's a terrible feeling of helplessness and insult.
