--- Comment #6 from Amir E. Aharoni <[email protected]> 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.
