Hi,
So after playing with the css files a little bit on my computer, I saw I'm
wasting to much time, and I send you my suggestions without real patches.
First, let me just say that I'm flattered by the fact that the css file is
called debian-he.css. There are other people in the world that write from
right to left. There for I would suggest to rename the file to
debian-rtl.css and make it usefull for those who speak and translate debian
to Arabic or Farsi for example.
Seconed, the way the html file are currently built creates the following
statement <html lang="he" dir="RTL"> in the head of the file.
Which my be correct, but causes the funny phenomenome the now the debian
text logo is desplayed before the debian whirle logo, which is not the
"right" behavior. Check this on the English website and compare to the
Hebrew one (I don't want to flud the mailing list with images, I believe you
can figure this out).
And another thing I would like to suggest is somehow re-locate the blue
navagation box to the right side, since RTL users expect it there. If you
would use desktops in Hebrew you would notice that the menu is in the right
side. I sometimes get a very surprised looked when I open a book from the
"wrong" side. Yes, we (Hebrew and Arabic speakeres) open our books from the
right to left. And some how this convention roled into user interface design
in computers.
I hope I managed to explain my ideas, and will be happy to work them out
with someone's help.
Thank you very much,
Oz.
