Hello everybody!

We are currently working on a questionnaire in six different languages. That is including Arabic and Persian; these languages are written right to left. Limesurvey does acknowledge that and it works with nearly everything. We encountered one, very annoying issue (see also screenshot) 
When using a slider question, the description for "very" is in the middle of the slider and we just cannot fix it. 
So far I tried to: 
1. force the answeroptions to be displayed from right to left (that only makes the slider disappear)
2. write codes in the welcoming text (suggested by ChatGPT and other AI models)

We have one workaround, which is putting the slider in a vertical position (so the problem of the right to left scripture does not occur). However it is not very astethically pleasing. 

Has anybody encountered such an issue? 

Thanks in Advance, 
Florian

It seems to be a problem with your survey theme. 

This is what I see using the core fruity_twentythree theme...
