Chris Howe commented on OFBIZ-852:
----------------------------------
After changing the direction to rtl in the body tag, my first impression is
that your ultimate solution for right to left languages is going to need to be
much more involved than simply the single declaration. I'm not even convinced
that it can be solved satisfactorily with CSS alone.
In regards to #2, my point is that English (United States) in the drop down
should aloways disply both ltr and aligned left regardless of what the current
locale is. Likewise, Arabic (Nationality) should always read rtl and be right
aligned. This would suggest that there is a conditional on the <option
class=""> or <option lang=""> in the template.
The <option lang=""> seems like a more robust solution (and naturally carry
over to additional elements) as if the browser doesn't do anything with the
information, javascript can play with it as the language setting will be in the
DOM for each element that needs it.
There is an additional CSS property (does not work on opera or safari)
unicode-bidi: bidi-override;
That along with rtl will reverse the order of the characters.

I don't know if this is beneficial or not as I'm unable to read any right to
left language.
