Hi! In Maps, I started going through some RTL-language-related issues (http s://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=782608). One thing that came to my mind is how we present stored previous route searches in the search results.
Currently when matching on a search string we show something like: Place1 → Place2 in the list of search results (along with an icon indicating the vehicle type, or walking being used). The arrow here is hard-coded. So, the naïve thing to do for RTL-languages is to just reverse the arrow. But thing will get more complicated when a result contains place names written in an LTR script (such as latin). Am I correct in assuming that under an RTL locale (such as Arabic or Hebrew), correct way to present the above example (assuming Place1 and Place2 are latin-script names) would be something like: Place2 ← Place1 I guess this could be achieved by inserting Unicode directional override characters in the beginning of the string and at each breaking arrow to get the right rendering direction. Does this make sense to someone knowledgeable in RTL writing systems? //Marcus _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
