You have probably been in contact with Peter about the problem, but I thought I would share a link so that others know what caused it.

Any luck or news on the right-to-left problem?

Carl

P.S. The real reason I wanted to post is to say that the completed Arabic version of .LRN is beautiful! Excellent work. Now you just have to keep it polished as we move toward release.

Thanks for your comments,

for the left to right i proposed a solution to Peter which was having another parameter to the locals which indicate if the local is right to left or left to right written language.

then we only have to change the master templete file depending on the value of this variable by putting the dir =rtl attribute to the html tag in this file

which do the magic work of swapping, we still have to look in the other file for any english messages that will still be viewed and change the direction localy by setting the dir attributes to ltr.

however this will be look at in the next release not in the comming release of dotlrn :)
