I live in Israel. We use mediawiki (version 1.15.1) for our department's documenation, and have been happy with it. Although we're in Israel, our wiki's primary language is English because: [1] many of us are native English speakers [2] it's a natural language for writing about computers, especially when you often include commands, code, etc.
However, now we have more native Hebrew speakers, and so we'd like more Hebrew documentation. The problem is that while each user can change the language of the interface, and we have a template for right-to-left text, the _overall_direction_ of the wiki is still left-to-right. One symptom is that lists (# & *) don't align properly. Is there a way for a user to easily switch the overall direction of the wiki? Or at least to set the wiki's overall direction on a page-by-page basis? If not, we might install a 2nd wiki whose primary language would be Hebrew :-( ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Haim (Howard) Roman Computer Center, Jerusalem College of Technology Phone: 052-8-592-599 (6022 from within Machon Lev) _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
