And yet, that's exactly what we're committed on doing for Wikipedia's right-to-left users. This talk will demonstrate the challenges that the web poses for Right to Left languages, some of the solutions that are available, and some of the work we've been doing to make RTL users' experience better. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
