Yes, people who don't speak English at all, or speak very poor English would in fact like to have a complete rtl interface, but, they too would prefer having an untranslated application still be ltr. So in general, the translation should choose, there's no escaping that. As you said, textblock has nothing to do with it, because text is different, since it's mixed. -- Tom. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Nokia and AT&T present the 2010 Calling All Innovators-North America contest Create new apps & games for the Nokia N8 for consumers in U.S. and Canada $10 million total in prizes - $4M cash, 500 devices, nearly $6M in marketing Develop with Nokia Qt SDK, Web Runtime, or Java and Publish to Ovi Store http://p.sf.net/sfu/nokia-dev2dev _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
