2. Import an Arabic language file,
3. View fields

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Arabic should be right to left in the text box but instead is left to
right. This is causing problems with variables.

Hi Hayden,

Any chance you can provide me a sample and/or some screen shots? I have tried to
replicate the error with Hebrew and Arabic (I did not try with Farsi). But it 
appears
fine. The text rendered appears right to left. 

I am assuming you are trying to import a java properties file. If so have you 
escaped
the contents of your properties files using native2ascii? If not what type of 
file
are you using?

Lastly, are you using the embedded version or have you deployed in a webserver? 
If so
which one?

Hi

I've attached the offending file for your reference. In particular, check out 
the
entry jsp.browse.no-results.com. You will notice that while the line should 
start
with .{0} it instead starts with .0} and ends with }.

If I add dir="rtl" to the table cell via Firefox's Firebug add-on, it aligns and
reads correctly.

Please find attached an initial patch that we created to improve right-to-left
support for Arabic.
