Hi,

I'm going through anaconda l10n and I assume that this message is a configuration setting for LTR vs RTL languages?

In anaconda.pot

#: ../gui.py:845 msgid "default:LTR" msgstr ""

If it is it would be nice if this was commented in the PO file. This bug relates https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=128220 but did not understand the issue from the l10n point of view. Can I reopen this bug?

Also if this is indeed a configuration setting then most languages are wrong. I assume that we default to LTR. But in Arabic this has been translated as:

ar.po:#: ../gui.py:845 ar.po-msgid "default:LTR" ar.po-msgstr "افتراض: من اليسار إلى اليمين (LTR)" ar.po-

When I guess it should be "default:RTL"

really? Then this should be done automatically depending on the env, no?

Well KDE doesn't to it, they have a RTL/LTR configuration in the translations. I'm not sure about GNOME.

For it to happen automatically you would need a system that understands the rendering for your locale. I haven't seen anything in locale files or elsewhere that does that.
