Package: wordpress-l10n Version: 2.9.2-1 Severity: important
According to Wordpress developer, Wordpress supports RTL languages by .mo file and php config file, php file which has the configuration of RTL instead of LTR (http://ryan.boren.me/2007/01/07/rtl-support-in-wordpress-21/). However, in the package wordpress-l10n there are only the .mo files, but not the php files. as a result, Wordpress in Debian is always LTR, e.g. the themes and the admin panels, even for RTL languages as Hebrew and Arabic (I tested it in Hebrew, I believe the same is true for Arabic too). Example of the needed php file for hebrew: filename:he-IL.php <?php $text_direction = 'rtl'; ?> Without the php file Wordpress is always LRT, with the php file Wordpress is RTL. The same file should be added also to Arabic (and Parsian, if translation exists). Here is example of the files in Hebrew-localized Wordpress 2.9.2 version - http://svn.wph.co.il/wph/tags/2.9.2h/wp-content/languages/ -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=he_IL.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=he_IL.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages wordpress-l10n depends on: ii wordpress 2.9.2-1 weblog manager wordpress-l10n recommends no packages. wordpress-l10n suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
