Hello,

I've discussed with Fayçal about the issue concerning the edition of 
right-to-left languages online on Transifex (eg. Arabic, Hebrew, Persian). It 
appears that Transifex is not using the proper Html tags in its pages to tell 
web browsers to render the text from right to left (property “dir” of value 
“rtl”). When doing so the RTL text is then correctly displayed but there may 
have inconsistencies when it is mixed with Latin characters rendered LTR (case 
of Html tags in the text to be translated).

I searched on the Transifex bug database and found that the issue has been 
reported months ago:

http://trac.transifex.org/ticket/451

Unfortunately the proposed patches have never been included in the Transifex 
code base. Maybe it's more complicated to solve than expected (you have to move 
some pieces of the page from right to left too – or the opposite).

In the meanwhile you can try to find some Firefox assistants for correctly 
typing RTL (it is existing for Arabic) or simply use a standard PO file editor. 
Please note that you can still post modified PO files on Transifex doing so.

Cheers,
JM.
