Bashir, Adrian whenever, you are at ease with RBE let me now, as we should see together how to proceed in translating labels into arabic (making a jira issue ...) For the UI, it seems interesting to get some interest for languages written from right to left. yes I am interested we must absolutely solve this issue and let the interface use the proper css when an RTL language is choosen.
