Binyamin, I have this on the list for UX design, but it looks like this bug is for platform support. Can you confirm? Thanks!

I meant to apply LRT/RTL support for Contacts data. It is easy applicable with HTML attribute "dir=auto".

In Firefox OS v1.4 and v2.1 all contacts data are aligned LTR and RTL does not apply.
For testing purpose try to add a contact for example "שלום לכם" and see if it gets aligned RTL and text start from right side, I see it from left side. Expected from right side.

Updating an old bug during clean-up. 

This isn't a kernel issue. 

I see two issues here:
* The layout for an individual contact looks fixed. On the 2.1 build I have, the contact entry/details for an individual look good. See attached screenshot. Flagging Ahmed on ni? to check that the contact details look OK in Arabic. 

* On 2.1 I see overlapping on the contacts list, so I'm going to file a bug for that issue specifically (if I don't find an existing bug hanging from the gaia-rtl meta).
