Tim, Thanks for your feedback on Lift localization; we do intend to support LTR and RTL languages, so it's good to hear about your positive experience. We are hoping to make it very easy for customers to translate our web pages (we already have a nice way to translate our educational simulations), but I'm imagining localization to be a fairly easy addition to the project, without too many bells and whistles. At this point I'm more concerned about the time and cost to replicate our existing PHP/JavaScript/HTML/database functionality.
