Title: right to left language - e.g. arabic, hebrew
For right to left languages you don't need to change order of <td> entries. You only need to specify to the browser that your page is for a right to left language and then everything is mirrored. To do that your html tag should look something like below:
 
<html dir="rtl">
 
I hope this helps you. If you have any other questions about right to left languages I maybe able to provide some help.

Hi

I am using cocoon 2.0.3 to render utf-8 pages for many differnt languages. How would I add support for right to left languages?

Basically I need something to reorder the td tags for tables so that items will become going from right to left ... similary for those align attributes from right to left. etc. Is there such a transform available in cocoon just before i serialise my xml into html? (I have many nested tables... so I don't want to write my codes but simply transform the final output...) What I am thinking of having a flag to switch this feature on and off.

Any info would be appreciated because I know little on this right to left language issue. Also since the page is in utf-8 encoding is there a way to tell the browser to flow from right to left by default?

Cheers
