--- Comment #19 from Amir E. Aharoni <amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il> --- I'd like to refocus this issue only on <ref> and little else. In actuality, it's not impossible to have these tags localized. It's already done in LabeledSectionTransclusion. However, I don't actually think that localizing all tags to all languages is important. In the coming age of VisualEditor localization of tags is supposed to become entirely irrelevant, because ideally they should be used only internally and not typed by editors. Until that age comes, however, people will do a lot of manual adding, removing and editing of tags in wiki syntax mode. For tags like <poem> and <timeline> it's not actually disastrous and nobody really complains about them (the content of <timeline> is a pain in RTL, but that's an entirely different issue). For <ref> however, it's a nightmare in RTL languages. What I am imagining at this point is a way to get <ref> localized to RTL languages (and probably not even all of them) using a mechanism that is works with wiki syntax and with VisualEditor and Parsoid, and to be ready to get rid of it in the far future when direct wiki syntax editing becomes unimportant.
