  1. Akrasner Hebrew Translator with all proofreading rights

    Hello good people,

    There are mainly two popular right-to-left languages, at least as far as I know. Arabic and Hebrew. I'm working on the translation for one of them.

    Even though the translated strings appear in the preview and I can see it and have feedback, there's something I cannot change: The text is aligned to the left even for right-to-left paragraphs.

    Judging by a bit of involvement in other project, I believe the website sources need to be edited, so that text alignment to left/right is reversed (into right/left respectively) when a right-to-left language is displayed e.g. Arabic or Hebrew.

    One more thing, the whole page layout should be reversed to be right-to-left. I hope it's not too much work to add this localization. I will happily help if I can, as a RTL-language user :-)

    My belief is that RTL localisation is done best by someone who knows such a language, so if you want or know someone who would be willing to contribute that, that'd be awesome. I'm willing to help with the basic infrastructure.

    Although I neither speak Hebrew nor Arabic, the HTML has to be modified like so:

    Dunno, where to place that in the code. But this have to end up :)
