I'm not sure. Isn't it that the whole form / page layout require changes to make it look right. Same is true for japanese etc. That is why we allow for per locale properties file.

Hi, I converted the form input example this weekend so that it uses one page and a properties (or xml) file per supported locale. One problem I have to fix is the fact that Persian (fa IR) is a 'left-to-right' language (see http://www.i18nguy.com/markup/right-to-left.html). Now, it kind of sucks to have to use a separate markup file for just to insert this tag: <html dir="rtl"> (or <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; dir="rtl">) I was thinking, maybe we could do this automatically. What we could do is this: * recognize the <html> tags so that we can access them later (much like we do with the <head> tags now); * have a getDir or getDirection method in WebPage that works like this: - If it returns LTR or RTL, a dir attribute is set on the <html> tag; - if it returns null and the locale is LTR, nothing is done - if it returns null and the locale is RTL, dir="rtl" is set on the <html> tag. WDYT? Eelco
