Microsoft Edge pdf Adding text with arabic letters disappear
- Hey there, I'm back with an update! Arabic is not currently a supported language in the Add Text feature (sorry for not catching that before asking a bunch of extra questions!)
The team is looking to increase the language support for Add Text and I made sure they knew we have an interest here for Arabic, but no current updates on when the supported languages might change. Sorry I don't have an immediate fix for this!
We are only supporting the following languages currently –
English, Spanish, Dutch, French, Italian, Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bosnian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, German, Indonesian, Irish, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Malay, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Scottish Gaelic, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh.
Hi! You mentioned that Vietnamese is supported for the "Add text" feature. But it appears to me that the same problem occurs when I try to add Vietnamese.Alexandra-R

Alexandra-R same thing happens with Croatian characters ć and č. Edge version 98.0.1108.56 (64-bit)
- Same issue with the Cryllic alphabet in Russian. It's awesome that they support languages like Gaelic and Welsh, but I wish they would support world languages like Arabic or Russian. There's no need to reply, as I understand the issue now, but I wanted to report the problem.
- Thanks for confirming this and sorry for the delayed response! I'm checking in with the PDF team to see if this is a known issue, but I'm able to reproduce this on my machine as well. I'll circle back if I need any additional info here!
Alexandra-R Thank you for your response! This is my Edge version: Version 96.0.1054.53 (Official build) (64-bit).
These are two pictures that show my input and its result. The "Đ" and "ấ" when missing after I clicked outside of the text box. When I clicked the text box again, the words went back to normal.Hey there DuongNgo! Can you provide some example text and confirm what's happening when you add the text to a PDF? Also, what version of Edge are you currently using? Using sample Vietnamese characters I was able to add them as text to a PDF without issue and they rendered as expected.
