             Bug #: 34168
           Summary: Menus in the Android app are not correctly oriented in
                    right-to-left locales

On Sony Xperia Neo, Android 2.3.4, with the Hebrew locale the menus in
completely localized applications, such as the built-in browser, are oriented
right-to-left for appropriate languages.

I found three types of menus to fix, in order of importance:

1. The entries in the settings menu appear on the left in the Wikipedia app and
on the right in the browser. It's especially important to define their
directionality, because it actually hurts readability.

2. The entries in the "more" menu (share, forward, select, settings) are
aligned to the left in the Wikipedia app, but the entries in the corresponding
menu in the browser are aligned to the right.

3. The whole six-button menu in the bottom of the screen - history, nearby,
language, more, saved pages, save page - runs right-to-left. The "more" button
is on the left in the phone's browser, but on the right in the Wikipedia app.
It should be on the left, because it's supposed to be the last button if the
order is right-to-left.
