The RTL version looks ok, but in many small things it's just not intuitive like the LTR version.
I'm going to list here things that should be reversed or changed...

1) In the tabs, the number of messages is in the wrong side of the words:
Sports(10) should become: (10)Sports in RTL.

2) The top bar is not translated (Login, Settings...)

3) The entire top menu (Add Content) is problematic and needs a lot of work:
Category list is on the left instead of the right and the little orange arrow should be switched along with the text being aligned right.
inside each category the arrows of "Previous" and "Next" should be reversed, it contrasts with the RTL logic.
Many things are left aligned.
The Find friends is really bad with boxes overlapping the menu.
And there is more...

4) If I press the little arrow near the "Edit" of each box (the one with the colors) it shows up really weird (At least in Firefox).

I'll get back when I have more and some things are fixed.
Hope you will get onto it soon as I'm really putting up an effort trying to complete the hebrew translation and don't want it to be done in vein.

Hi,
thanks for your feedback!
Be assured that your efforts are not vain. We're still working on the RtL version and we hope to upgrade progressively very soon.

Hi Arik,

Actually we already have an offline version which is slightly improved over the current one. It will be pushed online shortly.

PS: and thanks for recruiting new blood, I just created Itai's account smile

That's good to hear,
I'll keep on trying to close the translation so we can take off that BETA sign from Hebrew smile

I just finished translating the Hebrew version to 100%,
so as soon as you're done with the translation update I will be able to see what's still buggy in the RTL version.

Also, I would like to update the Israeli start page, how do I do that?
Thanx.

Hey Arik
RTL pages have been updated again, as well as translation files. However there are still some issues popping up here and there for a few languages including Hebrew, like the infamous untranslated topbar. We discovered that sometimes this is due to a character problem in the translated strings: for example, the use of the slash "/" (which is automatically reverted to "\" in RTL is now know for crashing the translation, so we added some warning messages to avoid it (see http://translate.netvibes.com/translate … e=messages).

As always, if you see any visual or translation issue, feel free to drop them here, we are fixing them bit by bit.
