Description Muhammad Tailounie 2011-12-04 19:19:03 CET
The same old buggy problem that pops out every now and then when installing Mandriva or Mageia 2, in this case, in Arabic.

The Launcher menu and the whole panel displays LTR which is not correct. Upon installing in Arabic the direction should be RTL.

Hi thanks for the bug report.

Can you add a screenshot ?

and maybe this also an upstream

Here are some screenshots of Mageia 2 Alpha 2 Live CD.

Sorry i wasn't able to install it.

It seems that the files are too big so here's a link:

The menu button should be to the right while the clock should be to the left.

I guess this should apply to Persian and Hebrew too!

I'am not sure I understand, but let the maintainer see that :)

Well i don't have any idea :/
It should be reported upstream if you're able to reproduce eventually with KDE 4.8

There's this page btw : http://community.kde.org/KDE_Localization/RTL
& probably this bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=187101 .
Comment 6 Muhammad Tailounie 2011-12-19 10:23:30 CET
Ok. Thank you. I'll check it out :)
Comment 7 John Balcaen 2011-12-19 11:03:14 CET
Well it's not like it's a solution but rather a list of bugs reported against the RTL functionnality in KDE :/
So the problem need to be fixed upstream.

I don't see a bug about the desktop itself not being RTL. But sometimes I have a habit of not seeing what is in front of me.

@ Shlomi

Is this a bug in KDE / Hebrew too, and if so, do you know whether there is a general upstream bug report (general in the meaning of: applying to all RTL languages)?

I'm not using Hebrew localisation on my local machine, but rather use menus/GUI in English. So I cannot tell you what exactly is happening.

Trying to ping 41 bug reports in one move, because nothing has happened with them for more than 3 months, they still have the status NEW or REOPENED, there is no "OK" on the Whiteboard and severity and priority are "normal" or higher.

Is this one still valid for Mageia 2 rc?

If it is and you're the assignee, please set status to ASSIGNED if you think this bug was assigned correctly. If for work flow reasons you can't do that, then please put OK on the whiteboard instead.
If it wasn't assigned correctly, please assign back to Bug Squad and explain.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Appears to be an upstream bug with no additional information in 2 years so close.
