Comment 44 for bug 654988

First, some screenshots would really make me/us happier, while it's also
useful to see where there's some work to be done. Second, it would be good
to publish them in OMG Ubuntu or Webupd8 to get more help from the community

cheers and thank u all,
Uri

> Hi,
>
> I noticed that for languages that are written from right to left, the
> unity interfaces stays the same. This is a little inconsistent with
> other GNOME apps: the left sidebar with the launchers should be on the
> right, and the top panel's items should be ordered from right to left.
> The fact that now the menubar is rendered by unity makes it even more
> bothering. The menus are rendered in reversed direction, and open to
> the right instead of to the left.

> Freeze Exception Notes:
> The exception is only for Unity 2D for which the RTL support is ready.
> The code impact is fairly small and the user interface for non RTL
> languages is left entirely untouched.
