In CSS, AFAIK most objects have a direction attribute which should be set to RTL for RTL languages. Another dirtier way of doing this will be adding a 'dir="RTL"' to every
<html> tag. In this case I don't know if anything more is necessary. If you prefer this latter method, I can search around it. But I personally prefer the CSS method. Noting that you have a skin system, CSS method seems a better choice. Currently the problem, which should be decided upon, is how we distinguish a RTL language from a LTR one? In my previous mail, I suggested adding a locale-dependent file besides labels.inc and messages.inc and set a global variable there. This decision should be taken by special care from designers.

Let me just forward this to the list so maybe someone else can pick up.
This could be done pretty fast then. I don't think we have many images with text anyway.
I am thinking that instead of folders for LTR, this could be either a seperate default skin. Less complex this way, etc.. Feedback? Ideas?

Can you summarize this? Do we just need to adjust the CSS for this to work,or what's the catch? (I read the wordpress-related post but it didn't say.)
Besides CSS, some images also will need to be mirrored horizontally, so basically there will be LTR and RTL folders for images, if this should get done. I was recently looking into a clients side using Joomla, and was wondering what those two LTR and RTL folders are.
