On Expression and DefinedMeaning pages all the definitions appear as left-to-right text if the user's interface language is LTR and as RTL if the user's language is RTL. It would be nice to have them always displayed according to their inherent directionality: right-to-left if the language is right-to-left - Arabic, Urdu, Farsi, Hebrew, Yiddish, Divehi, etc., and left-to-right if it's not. The current wrong display is immediately noticeable, because according to http://www.omegawiki.org/Help:Definition , definition must end with a period, and the period appears in the wrong end of the sentence when the directionality of the definition is different from the directionality of the user's preferred language. Maybe i'm naive, but this should be fairly trivial to implement.
Robin, is this something you would want to look into?
In itself it's not that difficult: just adding lang & dir attributes at the right place. But I am not familiar at all with the OmegaWiki code, nor can I easily install the extension. We should probably talk with Kipcool or someone else about this bug.
