RTL audit

[nacin]

Page navigation needs some work:

Screenshot: ​http://grab.by/7Zf5

Patch attached. I imagine there is a better way to do this, as I had to mess with the direction property to prevent the browser from rearranging the inline elements. I just don't know enough about RTL in browsers.

Patch has two additional enhancements:

• Fixes the %s of %s paging translation to allow argument swapping.

• Moves to lsaquo and rsaquo, rather than double raquo. Looks much more compact and cleaner. Not sure if we need to allow these to be translated, to avoid using these characters in certain languages. (Ideally, we should probably go with a presentational image.)

site-themes.php and site-users.php need nonce checks.

Wrong ticket for that last comment.

Tested internal linking, the admin bar, the network admin. Did a quick sweep through all the admin screens, checking the list tables.

Per a quick grep, it looks like the direction: ltr and direction: rtl trick is pretty common. Going to mark for commit and closed.

(In [17139]) RTL for the new style pagination links. fixes #15974.

Patch is IE6 and Opera save.

Nope, thanks for the confirmation. I convinced someone to test on IE6, and I handled Opera :-)

The screenshot in the ticket description isn't valid - the browser renders it this way when there's ltr text instead of rtl text.
Replace (for example using firebug) the text with hebrew text and it all comes in to place.

pagination.rtl.patch is a reverse diff + small addition for the .list-ajax-loading css.
Tested with webkit/ff/ie7+/opera

To confirm, feel free to replace "items" with "פריטים" or any other rtl text.

yoavf, thx for you comment/patch. After replacing "items" with "פריטים" it looks good.

Would be nice, if you could give us a link to a rtl language file, if there is one.

Hebrew WP 3.0.3, as a package, is available here: ​http://he.wordpress.org/wordpress-3.0.3-he_IL.zip

Translation is also available at ​http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/he/default - not sure if there's a direct link to the po/mo files.
This string ("items") isn't translated yet, btw.
