FWIW, I'm reasonably sure that the only thing affected by Launchpad's direction setting for a language is how various bits of the Launchpad web UI itself are displayed. The translations themselves are basically just Unicode text (or packed versions of that) and it's up to clients to display them appropriately. > And when I try e.g. Arabic, RTL is enabled automatically. > > Possibly it has something to do with GTK and the fact that the ckb_IQ locale > has not yet been released upstream (the latest glibc release is 2.31 while > the ckb_IQ locale will be widely spread in the Linux community only with > glibc 2.32).

There's a string in GTK whose msgid is "default:LTR", and you're supposed to set its msgstr to either "default:LTR" if your language is left-to-right or "default:RTL" if your language is right-to-left. Check that that string is translated correctly for ckb. Beyond that, I'm not really an expert on things at this level; I wouldn't be surprised to find other similar bits and pieces that need to be adjusted for RTL languages. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
