[android-developers] Re: left scrollbar
It's really a bit more complicated than that, to do it right. People don't just use LTR or RTL. There's a lot of mixed text, and people use a mix of applications which are and aren't localized to RTL languages. When the languages are intermixed, there's two different ways for things to behave -- it boils down to which direction is primary, and which one is the one that's considered embedded. This affects a whole lot of things, like selection behavior. To do it right, these should all be coordinated, rather than a bunch of individual settings. So if you are using English, but an occasional bit of Arabic, the scroll bars should remain on the right. But if you're reading Arabic text, with an occasional American name or an English Technical term, then they should be on the left. This is why it's not really right to be doing this yourself. (I realize you don't have a choice at the moment, I'm talking about how things should be in theory). So I hope they can get their RTL stuff working well and to users before too many people have to do it the hard way like you have. There's a third orientation of text as well! The CJK scripts -- Chinese, Japanese, Korean -- are traditionally written top-to-bottom, right-to-left. But everyone is accustomed to working with these languages LTR as well, so support for this is generally considered less important. Arabic, because of the way the letters connect (and change depending on what they're connected to), just won't work LTR! Still, the top-down format remains in widespread use. LTR was first used in 1915, according to Wikipedia., but there are still many contexts and purposes people would find LTR surprising. Japanese manga (comic books) are nearly always written top-to bottom, as are most advertisements, etc. Handling the world's writing systems is a complex task! With English, we have it easy -- the worst we have to deal with are variable-width fonts and capital/lower-case distinctions, and a tiny alphabet.

[android-developers] Re: left scrollbar
Dianne, the OP wants scrollbars on the left because Arabic is written right-to-left. So the reasons for having scrollbars on the right are reversed. I'm not sure that's a good idea, however. I think Arabic users will be encountering scrollbars on the right very often, either because they're forced to use non-localized applications, or because localized applications don't implement scrollbars on the left. The result will be that scrollbars are sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other. I expect the confusion that will result will be worse than having the scrollbars always on the wrong side. The only satisfactory solution I see is if the system always picks the side based on locale and/or user preference. and people do NOT write their own code to do it. And even then -- if other systems and platforms don't offer this, it might still be confusing to users. I suspect it would be OK, but I'd want to see some usability testing before I committed the platform to doing that.
