https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28970 --- Comment #6 from Amir E. Aharoni amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il 2011-06-21 21:41:59 UTC --- There's a directionality for the website's interface, which should always match the language set in the preferences. This already seems to work well in Robin's test wiki. (Robin, you're amazing :) For content pages - articles, help, etc., the directionality of the content may be different from the directionality of the website. This happens in Commons and Meta all the time, and it's a major PITA, and it sometimes happens in other projects, too on embassy pages and the like. People need to see the English Village Pump in Commons in LTR, no matter what their interface language is, and vice versa. Having two directionalities in one content page is rarer. For the time being it can be reasonably handled by using div tags. Another special case is discussions, which can be RTL and LTR on the same page quite often. It's also a PITA, but if LiquidThreads is being actively developed, the directionality of discussions should be discussed in that context. If i understand correctly, bug 9360 suggests showing some pages in another interface language if that language is set as the content language of the page and it also suggests that setting the language would involve HTML tags. It's a good idea, although it should be given some thought, because there are many possible scenarios for that. I would say that that is a separate bug. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

I think we should add a hook to that function and/or a magic word that would set the page language (or a language selector but I think that would be more difficult).

Aharoni amir.ahar...@mail.huji.ac.il 2011-06-02 15:47:51 UTC --- Directionality is a property of a script - Latin is always LTR and Arabic is always RTL. That said, nice ways for indicating the language of content which don't involve manual typing of HTML tags is more than welcome. Just as a matter of curiosity, i was recently asked by people involved with problems of bi-directionality on behalf of the Standards Institute of Israel for help with compiling a glossary (in English) of terms related to bi-directional text, and i raised this problem - the impossibility of indicating the directionality of plain text input fields in websites such as Wikipedia, Twitter and Facebook. So now plain text will probably be included in that glossary with an explanation of this problem. Without our little discussion in Berlin this probably wouldn't have happened. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.

In this bug, this checkbox should be optional, and enabled only in multi-language wikis. In these wikis, it will indeed be very useful, regardless of bug 6100. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: --- You are the assignee for the bug.
