Additionally, the external link icon should be on the left, as well as the radio buttons at the bottom.

Comment 4 nkomura@wikimedia.org 2010-02-04 00:55:08 UTC
The external link status icon should be on the left side of the text.  Can we also implement the eternal link icon with the arrow pointing to upper left instead of upper right?

Comment 6 Adam Miller 2010-02-04 15:49:50 UTC
Naoko - The external link icon IS on the left side of the text, and the icon even points to the upper left hand side. Maybe someone fixed this before I saw your comment, but I feel like it functioned this way all along. Maybe take another look and let me know if things still don't seem correct.

Comment 8 nkomura@wikimedia.org 2010-02-04 16:12:13 UTC
I have attached the current screenshot of the arabic prototype.  I still see the problem I described in Comment 4.  Will you please update the prototype with the fixes?
Comment 9 Adam Miller 2010-02-04 16:24:35 UTC
Sorry your second screenshot confused me. I thought you started talking about a separate issue. 

We currently render the status icon to the left of the text in LTR languages, which is why I felt it was appropriate to render it on the right for RTL languages, as it is currently on prototype. Everything else is switched, so I'm not sure why you feel that icon needs to remain on the same side. 

I will add a flipped version of that icon though, as that isn't currently in place.
Comment 10 nkomura@wikimedia.org 2010-02-04 16:40:52 UTC
Yeah, that makes sense.
