[Bug 1697377] Re: Change TextBoxes Direction for RTL languages
Hi Reza, Issues regarding GTK should be reported in the upstream issue tracker.

[Bug 1697377] Re: Change TextBoxes Direction for RTL languages
I Wrote about it in the past (...2011!). http://shlomil.blogspot.co.il/2011/12/changing-text-direction-and-gnome.html Nobody really cared back than. So, as I wrote in the blog above, I think this issue can be solved as an input method plugin (or a patch to Gnome) which will let you control the invisible characters in the beginning of each paragraph using special hot keys. This is not too hard to do but I think that Gnome people do not acknowledge it as an issue that should be solved and will not accept a patch for it. Want to solve it? This is what you should do: 1. Open a bug in GTK. 2. Convince them it should be fixed. (That's the hard part) 3. Propose a solution and/or patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1697377 Title: Change TextBoxes Direction for RTL languages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1697377/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 851616] Re: Regression - software center some texts messed up (RTL)
Seems to me like the placement of the stars is prefect - for example, if you look at the highlighted selection in the above screenshot you will see that there's a big space from the right to the beginning of the label. If you would align the string to the right then is looks like there's enough room and the stars would not overlap the label. One more thing I noticed which might be very helpful: Each cell of a program summary has two lines - The First is the program name and the second is a short description (in smaller font). If the description line (2nd line) is longer than the name line (1st line) then this bug occurs (otherwise it doesn't - the stars don't overlap text). Note that when it happens, the 1st line is aligned to the end of the 2nd line. That's probably the cause of this bug - the 1st and 2nd lines are somehow connected and both are aligned to the left of the longest label. Or, maybe you implemented this by using a single multi-line label and for some reason the text is aligned to the left in this single label. in other cases where the 1st line is the longer one you can see the stars don't overlap the program name but note that the 2nd line is aligned to the end of the 1st line which is also looks kind of buggy for RTL users. You can see example for that in the above screenshot in the 3rd program with the mms,wavpack, quicktine... name. I hope the above observation I made is clear enough. I'm pretty sure it's what caused this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/851616 Title: Regression - software center some texts messed up (RTL) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/851616/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 560114] Re: Truncated text in Ubiquity after selecting Hebrew
Hi Dovix, I can confirm that this bug seem to have been solved in Oneiric Beta1 . Probably the move to Gnome3 included some fix for it. Since we have 2 confirmations that this bug doesn't appear on 11.10Beta1 we should probably close it. I just wonder who/what fixed it. Offtopic: The sentence in your screenshot starts with LTR letter and that's why the direction of the label is assumed to be LTR which explain the left aligning. Moreover, the translated label text contains both Hebrew and English words which contributed to the mess. This is a translation issue (and unrelated to the current bug). I already reported it to Yaron.S and he added RLE chars where needed in that string.

If it works as a libvte replacement (and reasonably stable) then I think it should be default in RTL environments. However, IMO removal of libvte upon installation is not required. I think both can live together using the Debian Alternatives System. libvte should be available with a lower priority in the Alternatives list, which will make MLTerm default when installed.

Frustration Well, Going by the GNOME logic (which I dislike .. sigh ( https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=167354 )) .. the auto-detection should be just fine (option C). The grandmothers using Gnome should be smart enough to insert the Invisible Unicode LRM/RLM characters when auto-detection goes wrong (which happens very rarely I must admit ). /Frustration I'm afraid the problem get even more complex since last time I checked, MSN didn't support RLM/LRM so well (this might have been changed by now) and in this case butterfly should remove the RLM/LRM marks and set MSN's RL flag accordingly.

[Bug 562130] Re: Selecting an RTL language should install RTL capable terminal emulator
Usama: Yes. MLTerm is ugly - it doesn't have Gome-terminal's options, menu, scroll-bar, opacity and other features. The reason is simple enough - it's not a Gnome application. it was written directly in X API (AFAIK). If MLTerm will be ever included in RTL installations by default as this bug suggests then it should be known and agreed that it's only a temporary solution - a workaround for the real problem. Besides that, as Yaron said before, I think people are entitled to hold their own opinion and speak of it publicly. You have a different opinion and I respect that. Yaron: If we want to fix Gnome-terminal we should first come up with a design that Behdad Esfahbod will approve. He will accept a patch only if it is using the right approach to solve the problem. Behdad claims that none of the existing terminal emulators he knows solve the problem correctly.

Sounds like it's not going to happen, but maybe Gnome devs will change their minds given enough community pressure. I'm pretty much against including mlterm in default installation process (even if installed only in the second stage).

[Bug 212491] Re: Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed
IMHO it's probably worth making sure the text is right-way-round as a first step, even if the shaping still needs to be implemented. The proposed patch will fix Arabic text direction but with no char shaping (as can be seen in the attached screenshot in which I enabled Arabic again). It seems that shaping can be achieved by using a newer version of fribidi (latest is 0.19.2). There is a LP bug for including the newer fribidi version (LP bug #191241) in Ubuntu and Debian (is there a Debian bug for it?). BTW, I think that shaping can be done using other libs (ICU? , Pango?). Any clue? I built fribidi 0.19.2 on my system using Tzafrir's package ( http://tzafrir.org.il/~tzafrir/fribidi/ ) and rebuilt gfxboot Ubuntu theme again with shaping. This time there was no text displayed at all. (see second attached screenshot). It seems that gfx-theme-ubuntu uses X keymap chars (I think) to build the bitmap fonts. But the joined chars do not exists in the keymaps because shaping occurs automatically under X. So I guess that a better way to get a list of all Arabic chars is required. I don't know how to do that and if you have an idea please share. By the way, there is another LP Bug #119393 that is about Arabic char shaping ... So I suggest accepting my branch and closing this bug and deal with the shaping issue described in LP bug #119393. ** Attachment added: Arabic gfxboot with no shaping http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37596337/arabic_gfxboot_no_join.png -- Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 316171] Re: List of updates aligned left
Setting the treeview's direction to be fixed on TEXT_DIR_LTR will fix the issue. By that we assume that package names and descriptions will always be in English. To fix it on LTR simply add the line: self.treeview_update.set_direction(gtk.TEXT_DIR_LTR) after the treeview's creation. ( http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~shlomister/update-manager/treeview-update-ltr/revision/1645#UpdateManager/UpdateManager.py ) The result can be seen in the attached screenshot.

[Bug 429621] Re: keyboard layout is flipped when installation is in RTL language
Orgad, I tested on a Lucid snapshot and I don't really understand the problem. What version are you using? What is the meaning of flipped test area. What Esc is on the right? The test area direction is determined by the first char with strong direction. This is GNOME behavior and not a bug. Could you please elaborate? thanks -- keyboard layout is flipped when installation is in RTL language https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/429621 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 212491] Re: Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed
hi, 1. I Committed a branch called hebrew-fix using bzr in my own user branches. I could not commit it under ubuntu-core-dev. I guess I don't have the permissions to do so: $ bzr push sftp://shlomis...@bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/hebrew-fix bzr: ERROR: Permission denied: /~ubuntu-core-dev/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/hebrew-fix: [Errno 13] mkdir failed $ bzr push sftp://shlomis...@bazaar.launchpad.net/~shlomister/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/hebrew-fix Created new branch. Is that OK? Can you merge it like this? 2. Used LP: # form this time. 3. Not sure it works as well for Arabic (I know some basics of the language but not enough to be a tester) so for now I will only apply the patch for Hebrew. 4. You are right... I forgot I have to use 'eq' - my perl skills are a little rusty. 5. You are right .. again - passing these strings in shell in not secure nor stable. I changed it to use open2. There are no trailing newlines to fiddle with but, as you might have noticed in my first patch, the bidi algorithm converts C format string parameters from %s to s% and that is fixed by that little additional regex over there.

[Bug 212491] Re: Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed
IMO, Bidi algorithm implementation is not required here because we have no need to read Hebrew/Arabic user input in the boot loader. We just have to display the text in a readable manner. For this, all we have to do is reverse the text according to the bidi algorithm and display it visually. This can be achieved using fribidi tool (found in libfribidi0) at package building time and it requires no code changes or further hacking. A proposed patch is attached. ** Attachment added: gfxboot-theme-ubuntu-visual-hebrew.patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/37181237/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu-visual-hebrew.patch -- Live CD, first screen, Hebrew not correctly displayed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

As you can see in the attached image, Hebrew text is displayed correctly.

[Bug 325324] Re: Hebrew not displayed correctly in terminal
Yaron, Nobody was trying to make a joke out of you. It's just a discussion and sometimes people disagree. On this matter I have to agree with Diego - CLI applications should not be translated at all. CLI is an environment for advanced users and those usually don't work with Hebrew translations at all. Problem solved. Diego's solution should translate into a bug for Rosetta - enabling you (as you are one of the admins of Ubuntu Hebrew Translators) to lock some files and keep translators away from these files. It's a shame that Rosetta is closed source because we could have fixed it by now. Other technical solutions exists but they are not perfect: 1. Executing terminal emulators with LC_ALL=C . The downside is that GUI programs executed from CLI will also be English. 2. Creating a package that will divert all unwanted CLI translation files. Both should be considered temporary solutions until the translation is officially removed from CLI apps. I'm thinking of implementing #2 for the next Hebrew Remix since I find current status of Hebrew in Ubuntu's console very annoying.
