right-to-left themes

[Croco]

i want to ask why right-to-left languages aren't supported very well by themes creators

if you choose form the box on the corner the Arabic language you would see that the images in main menu are strange (aren't right)
and that isn't the only place

if you want i would be very happy to fix this problem for every theme

but  shouldn't this matter be consideration for theme creators

in SMF 1.0.7 the text alignment in the board name and description is to left when using right-to-left language like Arabic
and it is in default and classic themes shouldn't at least those support the right-left languages

[Deaks]

the problem with it is that most people use left to right and not right to left and out of those people very few do actually know right to left, I do from read Runescript but in other texts such as Arabic its harder for the primary English speakers.

As you said yopur willing to sort themes, but I am happy yo sort some of my themes for right to left but you would need to give me a step to step on how.

Well I am aware of the issue though I have no idea how I can test if my theme looks well on Arabic and Hebrew.

hey

i uploaded the first theme it is the default theme for 1.0.7

please consider to put the changes in the copy that is in download section

all changes do't affect other languages it's only make the theme fit the right-to-left languages
with no changes on left-to-right languages

Thanks for the information. Essentially its removing all inline align="left" styles and using dir="rtl" in some tables?

i didn't use any dir="rtl" cause that would affect the theme

[bloc]

ok, I just saw you used that in the other topic.

[Croco]

that's OK
