English text in dialogs' title is flipped when using RTL language

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

To reproduce

• Go to the demo and open the multi language interface.
• Choose RTL language (i.e Hebrew)
• Click on the 'Help' button for example.

Notice that the product name in the dialog title is flipped.

Confirmed with IE only.

We had issues with CSS in IE and because of this we were forced to make some "weird" things with dialog titles (weird solutions for weird browsers!). Because of this, ltr words are reverted.

We have solved this problem in the About dialog. In fact you can see that it works well for the Arabic language.

To make it work with Hebrew, it's enough to change the following entry in the about section of the language file:

dlgTitle : 'אודות rotidEKC',

But ok, this fixes the About dialog. Do you see any other dialog that needs fixes?

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Umm, SCAYT plugin for example.
I have recently translated everything and you applied it to the 3.2 version, so after this release i'll have a better look on that one.
Anyway, i think it should be fixed in the CSS for further compatibility

I think so also... but really I remember we've spent a lot of time on this issue. If I recall it well it was breaking the dialog dragging in the title area with IE.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

OK, in Hebrew the problem is in all the SCAYT dialog (btw is there a way to translate the options inside of them?), Div container and About dialog.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Oh, and the new 'Accessibility instructions' dialog.

Replying to Saare:

Oh, and the new 'Accessibility instructions' dialog.

Isn't it translatable? I mean, do you leave it in English for the Hebrew language?

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Oops.. yes, i'll also translate this plugin with all the other language phrases that are to be translated, targeted to the 3.3 version release.
Anyway, if the problem is with the dragging, maybe if you cover the dialog title with a transparent DIV it will work OK.

This problem should be resolved using CSS Only! patch attached.

I'm curious which browser do you have this reproduced? WFM in both IE7 and IE8.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

IE8. If you check this bug with Arabic in About dialog you will not observe this issue, as Fred wrote.

WFM in all IEs, I would revert the original hacks unless it's proved to be necessary.

[Frederico Caldeira Knabben]

Much probably, the old hack is not anymore necessary because of the recent dialog structure changes.

Fixed with [5454].

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

The same fix must be ported to other skins as well.

[Sa'ar Zac Elias]

Fixed with [5897].
