443636 - mozilla.com lacks rtl support

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 390540

(www.mozilla.org :: General, defect)

Description

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc]

mozilla.com does not support correctly right to left languages, that is for us: Hebrew, Arabic and Persian.

Currently, we only add dir="rtl" to the html tag for these locales and have a few fixes for the most obvious issues in our CSS.

Real support would mean:
- mirrored and repositioned images when need be
- specific css rules for positionning
- making sure our dhtml changes via javascript (pagers, transition effects, expanders...) work in rtl

My proposal is to have a separate stylesheet for rtl locales, loaded last, that allows to override ltr rules defined elsewhere and add rtl specific rules if necessary. This way we can work on improving our rtl support on the site without any risk regarding ltr pages.

I believe that both Ehsan and Tomer are willing to help here, Steven how can we work with you on this?
