I think it is a design decision and shouldn't be done by me, but the RoundCube designers. Anyway I searched about implementing support of RTL languages in web applications, especially PHP. Here are a few useful links:
RTL support in WordPress 2.1: http://boren.nu/archives/2007/01/07/rtl-support-in-wordpress-21/ RTL in HTML, XHTML, CSS2, CSS3: http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/right-to-left.html Language information and text direction (part of HTML 4.01 specification): http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/dirlang.html I think this is the simplest idea: Set a global variable in a locale-dependent file which shows this locale is RTL. Then use it wherever a 'dir="RTL"' attribute is needed. Anyway it is up to designers to decide upon this.
