Hi,

I found and fixed a bug connected with Text Mesh Pro and Arabic text.
Wen Text Mesh Pro try to wrap an RTL fails if the isRightToLeftText property is not set.
What I did to resolve it, was to change inside the LocalizeTextMeshPro file, the two methods DoLocalize_TMPLabel and DoLocalize_TMPUGUILabel.

After setting the alignment I also set the isRightToLeftText property of TMP.
The issue is that after doing this TMP expects to receive the text reversed. I don't know why, but I found this solution in his forum: forum post

Here is the code for the two metods:
mTarget_TMPLabel.alignment = LocalizationManager.IsRight2Left ? mAlignmentTMPro_RTL : mAlignmentTMPro_LTR;
mTarget_TMPLabel.isRightToLeftText = LocalizationManager.IsRight2Left;
if (LocalizationManager.IsRight2Left) MainTranslation = ReverseText(MainTranslation);

I also added somewhere in the file the ReverseText method:
string ReverseText(string source) {
	char[] output = new char[source.Length];
	for (int i = 0; i < source.Length; i++)
	{
		output[(output.Length - 1) - i] = source[i];
	}
	return new string(output);
}

Let me know if you foresee some issue after this change and if you can integrate it in next versions.
