Hi all, Following the advice of Christian Rose of the i18n team I am contacting you the Evo hackers to look at this issue. So I hope this mail doesn't generate some flames as I'll try to be as polite as possible ;)
Evolution has bad rtl support as seen in this screen: http://www.silverpen.de/evo.png The task/mail/contact/calendar widgets are not present and many bars are not flipped the right way. Under this id you can find the bug which was already reported: 56693 I've included a detailed descriptionn at the end of the page as my last comment on the bug. And there is already a patch for flipping icons in the right order. I want to lobby for this bug because of the two following reasons: More then 50 countries use rtl scripts (without counting the islamic countries which use Arabic as a second or third language), like Arabic hebrew persian etc... rtl using countries are making a really big part of our world. It wouldn't be good if those ppl would have to wait longer for such a great app till it becomes usable for them. The second reason is that the interface looks messy which degrades the overall desktop experience for a user when using gnome. To have a high quality desktop I think it should be very good to have such an important app behaving correctly under the corresponding locale. the majority will look at Evo first place when installing gnome 2.8 so having a decent looking app is not so wrong ;) So I really hope this bug gets your attention. And gets resolved for 2.8! The translation is nearly done too (80%) so I hope this gets spin. many thanx for reading. And I hope my mail was friendly enough to not make anyone angry ;) yours Arafat Medini Arabic gnome transaltion coordinator _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
