Amine,
I proposed a solution on the dev mailing list that provides a simple way to
cascade a RTL style sheet that reverses the direction of the main style sheet.
Perhaps you could check that mailing list and comment on my approach.
Our CSS/HTML Best Practices advise against the type of CSS naming you proposed.
I'm moving this to the dev mailing list - which is a more appropriate place for
this type of discussion.

Hello All,
I want to start to enable the Ofbiz UI to be Right to Left when an RTL
language is choosen in the list. since there is an initiative to translate
Ofbiz to arabic, such a feature must exist. I am thinking on different
approaches, and I want advices:
1- make a different CSS where every "float:left" is transformed to
"float:right" and vice versa. with other stuff that goes on the same way,
then the new css is selected automatically when an RTL language is
choosen.
the pbl with this approach is that we have to maintain a separate CSS and
each change to the original CSS must be reproduced on this one.
2- add a supplementary styling class for each style that must be altered
for
example. if there is a class named "styleClass1" which includes a
"float:left element", we add a new class "styleClass1RTL". with the "RTL"
suffix added to every styled element when an RTL language is choosen. The
problem with method is to make a change to every file on the presentation
layer.
3-Make a new CSS which can be used as an option in the login user
attributes. The pbl with this one is that we consider the user as
experienced with Ofbiz.
I am waiting for any suggestions,
Regards.
Amine
