[Bug 654988] Re: Unity doesn't mirror its interface for RTL locales.

 

Hi Haggai,

Thanks a lot for the patch. The DX team folks can give you better advice
on this, but as the patch addresses a workaround rather than a fix, it'd
probably be better to file a separate bug for it (e.g. "Fall back to
Unity 2D 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.
