We don't want to maintain 2 (or more, since admin contains multiple) stylesheets, as they change from time to time (see Wilson's comment on this thread). We also can't replace (as is done in replacing themes' sheets) the original ones, since the system should work on multilingual site (i.e: have the ability to display ltr _and_ rtl, depending on user's chosen language). So the chosen (and implemented) path was to maintain a single rtl stylesheet which overrides only the ltr specific parts in all stylesheets. > > For Arabic websites, I see that most of them are using the dir > attribute instead of the direction CSS rule.

Thanks for the info :) It's already implemented both as a css rule and a dir attribute, see line 2 of base.html: http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base.html#L2 Cheers -- Meir Kriheli http://mksoft.co.il --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django I18N" group.
