Solve : Right to Left script is important t o System Programmers.?

Answer» Not sure where so post this. For some of us, this is important.

Right to Left script is important t o System Programmers.

RTL WRITING starts from the right of the page and continues to the left.
Examples:
Arabic, Persian and Urdu
Hebrew alphabet
Syriac alphabet
Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

Some are also top-to-bottom.

Right-to-left, top-to-bottom text is supported in common CONSUMER software. Often this support must be explicitly enabled. For mixing right-to-left text with left-to-right text, see bi-directional text.

If you work in IT, someday you may have to deal with a RTL application. Presently, HTML does not have a RTL thing. Doing RTL for mobile apps is not as easy as you MIGHT think.

Of special interest is the attention GOOGLE is now giving to the RTL problem. They have announced hgt the Android OS will give more support to RTL.

Think about it. Nearly a third of the world lives in a country whee RTL is the standard script.

Here is the news from Google reported in PC magazine.

RTL or LTR, personally I feel that it can be user preference and if the compiler needs to see it as a specific RTL or LTR, there would be a formatting tool that would CONVERT RTL to LTR or LTR to RTL to make it as flexable to programmer preference as possible. Something like this could actually be a regional option during the installation of the IDE etc. To me it seems almost as easy to implement as a language preference.Applications are not RTL or LTR. Right-To-Left has been supported by the internationalization features of Windows since Windows 98, and applications receive some of these benefits "free". Of course Applications that explicitly support RTL configurations do a much better job than the automatic capabilities Windows attempts to provide.

It's similar to support for high DPI, something which I've become acutely aware is lacking since I got this 1440p Monitor. Basically Windows tries to provide support but if an Application explicitly supports it it can do a better job.
