Public bug reported: I am trying to do localization of Ubuntu for Sindhi language. So far, the locale file sd_PK has been included in Ubuntu and is part of the new 11.04. Sindhi keyboard is still not included but hopefully will. Translation team is also working to translate Ubuntu into Sindhi.
I am using 11.04 and using Sindhi locale and translations. Sindhi uses Arabic script and hence is an RTL (right-to-left) language. But the desktop and applications direction is not RTL even though the translation files are installed and the locale is set. I don't know but I think this setting is not part of the locale file. So how do I change the interface to RTL? Also, I would like to make the locale RTL in the next release. If this has to do with the locale file (sd_PK) I can fix it. Please let me know how to do it. Otherwise, please fix it.
