Description (last modified by ischommer) (diff)

in order to translate right-to-left languages like hebrew, we need to prepare the underlying i18n-implementation. generally, the used techniques (php/mysql/html+browsers) are prepared to handle RTL-unicode strings out of the box, so there's no need for having "attribute-soup".

sub-tasks:

  • look for RTL-CSS-layouts (<mydesign>-rtl.css) and include them if needed
  • add dir="rtl" attribute to <html> when needed
  • augument i18n.php arrays to include which languages are RTL
  • make sure mixed output (RTL-language with untranslated english fallback) works
