It is unfortunate that the evo team is reluctant to clean things up. I think we should work more with them and let them know that alot of people are willing and want to use evo in the ME and other RTL places.
I suggest we put a vote on linux4arabs.com asking people if they would use Evo and use this info to convince the evo team

Hi all,
Evolutions interface is very buggy regarding rtl languages. This problem was reported long ago but no one seemed to care. After a chat with the evolution developers, the problem was downplayed stating that no one of the hackers uses ar locale and so there isn't any need to fix that problem.
But pls take a look at this screen:
http://www.silverpen.de/evo.png
the interface is messy at it's best...
In this regard Evolution doesn't match the standards set by the gnome project.
And I am against getting it included in the 2.8 D&D release if it doesn't have proper rtl support.
All the apps have it but the evo hackers don't seem to care. I mean haw can you ignore over 50 countries using rtl scripts and important languages such as Arabic hebrew persian etc... for an app like Evo? Which is a core app in gnome and which everyone will want to use.
Especially that every hacker was helpful regarding rtl only the Evo ppl weren't.
I want a clear view about this. Especially that this is not a light bug it's the whole app from a GUI perspective that is screwed.
yours Arafat Medini
