14129	RTL admin CSS files not loaded even if xx_XX.php states $text_direction = 'rtl';	codestyling		"If you have a language file needs to be loaded with RTL support like he_IL.php (languages folder), you will find inside

{{{
$text_direction = 'rtl';
}}}

So if you allow by plugin a dynamically switch of backend languages driven by user choise, this wont work anymore (prev 3.0 works!) because the follwoing file makes a wrong assumption: ''/wp-includes/script-loader.php''

The questionable function is ''print_admin_styles()'' where the $dir var will be taken out of a style not proper configured:

{{{
$dir = $wp_styles->text_direction;
}}}

This can be repaired by using the correctly set global locale object:

{{{
global $wp_locale;
$dir = $wp_locale->text_direction;
}}}

afterwards the admin menu is correctly displayed right hand side instead of left side. 

Reproducing the bug is easy: use original US WP version 3.0, download ''he_IL.mo'' and ''he_IL.php'' and change only ''define ('WPLANG', 'he_IL');''
I would expect now the admin menu on right hand side but it's still left side, what is wrong!
