>From what I read, unity 8 is moving to QML. Since Qt and QML bring full
RTL, bidi, and UI mirroring support, I expect this bug to be
(relatively) easily fixed there.

Title:
  Unity doesn't mirror its interface for RTL locales

Bug description:
  Hi,

  I noticed that for languages that are written from right to left, the
  unity interfaces stays the same. This is a little inconsistent with
  other GNOME apps: the left sidebar with the launchers should be on the
  right, and the top panel's items should be ordered from right to left.
  The fact that now the menubar is rendered by unity makes it even more
  bothering. The menus are rendered in reversed direction, and open to
  the right instead of to the left.

  Freeze Exception Notes:
  The exception is only for Unity 2D for which the RTL support is ready. The code impact is fairly small and the user interface for non RTL languages is left entirely untouched.
