Hello,

Let me tell you our experience with Urdu which is a RTL language.

For localizing the PO files we used POEdit. When we generated GSI file
out of that and built OO, all menus were occuring LTR. While Arabic
and Hebrew were recognised as RTL Language.

We found the error.  In vcl/source/app/settings.cxx URDU LanguageType
was not included in the method GetLayoutRTL() . Alan would not have
encountered this error because Arabic and Hebrew are already included.
That was the reason why urdu was not recognised as a RTL Language. We
included it and things are fine now.

Which RTL language are you building for?


Best Regards
-Raman
