a screenshot with the problem

My phone's locale is Hebrew. I set the Wikipedia language to English.

I tried the nearby screen and it produced relevant results, but their display was weird: some were aligned to the left and some were aligned to the right. See the screenshot.

Given that the content is from the English Wikipedia, it makes sense to make all the titles aligned to the left. Speaking more generally, all titles should have the direction of the page's content language.

(It would be even better if the title could have a language that is different from the page's content language, but that's an entirely separate bug.)
Comment 1 Amir E. Aharoni 2014-10-27 11:18:00 UTC
(Looking at the screenshot, it may be that the names that are longer than one line get aligned to the left, but it may be just a coincidence. In any case, this shouldn't be the thing that sets the alignment.)
