Moving to post 1.0 until we find translators for RTL languages. If we do, we would definitely do it for 1.0!

Attachment: Arabic Translation
ar.php

Hi,

Just wanted to contribute the Arabic Translation for Piwik 1.0 it is not 100% but did my best to and hope to see it in the next patch/version with RTL support to ensure having more community contribution to reach the 100%

As a first step, we should define:

• lang/en.php: 'General_LayoutDirection' => 'LTR', // or 'RTL'; "" or undefined is the same as 'LTR'
• themes/default/common-rtl.css: add a stub file
• when loading stylesheets (in templates or assetmanager), see if a basename-rtl.css file exists, and also include that

how to change title and body to rtl for all blocks?

Note to self:

• CSSJanus - flip css ftom left to right
  • MediaWiki has a php port of the above python code

Changing the language shouldn't require rebuilding the merged css asset or recompiling Smarty templates.

This appears to imply:

• conditional loading of rtl css in the templates
• a separate merged rtl css asset

Where the translation is incomplete, the layout is going to look messed up (defaults to the English text).

vipsoft, I thought the RTL CSS could work being conditionnaly loaded after all CSS, and overriding some values. So the merged CSS would stay the same, and there would be one more request for the RTL.css.

Where the translation is incomplete, the layout is going to look messed up (defaults to the English text).
what do you mean?

When i am translate en.php to fa.php (farsi or persian) my theme not worked.

• adding stub themes/default/rtl.css file loaded when the language is RTL (currently loaded for Arabic and Hebrew)
• this stub file will be used to overwrite CSS properties to set text-align:right float:right etc. for all elements requiring to be aligned differently
• Following screens use the RTL: Login, Admin screens, main dashboard reports, Update screen & Installation screens

Increasing priority: it would be nice to investigate having at least a basic rtl.css which would display the dashboard from right to left.

Consolidating milestones FTW

Hi,
My native language is Hebrew.
I'll add support for RTL languages in site theme (css).
If you have some major points I should look at in order to understand everything that need to be supported, I would appreciate it if you let me know.

Also, I'll try to add translation in Hebrew for all core plugins.
