@Yaron Falling back to Unity-2D has not been an option since Unity-2D was dropped from Ubuntu.
Yes, it's true that this bug will not be addressed for Saucy (13.10). Adding proper LtR support to the Unity 7 stack is a large risk that will require several weeks of full-time engineering work and it competes with many other bug for the available resources. I can only offer apologies and say "maybe next cycle." -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.

Status in Ubuntu Translations: New Status in Unity: Triaged Status in Unity 2D: Fix Released Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “unity-2d” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released 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.
