RTL stylesheet startegy
I'm working on right-to-left enabled support for the admin interface. The strategy right now was creating a matching RTLed stylesheet for every one there is which overrides only the ltr specific settings, so we have: base.css->base_rtl.css layout.css->layout_rtl.css etc. The problem ? Styles are scatterd among many sheets and it's getting quite messy. Lots of those are loaded twice as well. e.g: dashboard_rtl.css load dashboard.css which loads base.css. It also needs to load base_rtl.css by itself (which loads base.css as well and modifies the needed ones). As we can see, it's quite a mess. Since RTL changes are relatively small, maybe a better solution would be to create an rtl.css which contains all the rtl needed overrides in a single, and more maintainable file ? It would look better in the templates as well. (loads the basic style, and in case of LANGUAGE_BIDI, load rtl.css).

Regardless on what path you take, better talk to Wilson Miner, as he is the guy in control of the Django stylesheets. bye, Georg --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django I18N" group.

Re: RTL stylesheet startegy
I think that makes sense - having one rtl.css that overrides the default styles. It's a lot more maintainable than trying to keep multiple rtl stylesheets in sync with the main stylesheets. You may need to use chained selectors or !important declarations in some places to successfully override the defaults. Let me know if I can make any changes to the core CSS to make things easier.

Re: Untranslated application names in admin
Thanks Hugo / Georg! You explain it a lot better. I hope someone solves it soon since it's the only untranslated part of Django (except the docs and the admin-documentation pages), as far as I can see (and I've been using it a lot the last few months).

And this is not CSS, but straight into HTML of course.
