Good suggestion. Would you be interested in developing a RTL plugin? I think
this would be the best solution.

I'm already behind on other projects I'm involved with, but since I'm using
Blueprint
on several RTL sites, I'll do my best to at least get the ball rolling. I would
be
great if another developer with more experience in Arabic would join - I only
know
Hebrew.

Very cool, send me an e-mail when you'd like to check something into the SVN.
:) Even if it's just a start, you
should check it in, as I'd like to contribute to this plugin myself. :)

Versus making the changes/modifying directly, would it make more sense to use
some
type of parent class on the same level as .container (i.e. .rtl), and just add
those
specific style-rules mentioned above?

@ran.hartstein: do you have a sample markup we can checkout that plays w/ what
you
have attached earlier?

Here is a very rudimentary version of an RTL plugin for Blueprint. I tested it
on the
provided sample files, with Firefox only. It probably still needs a lot of work,
currently the most glaring issue is the prevelance of "!important". I'm not very
smart when it comes to specificity, so I just used it everywhere to make sure
everything gets picked up and not ignored.

Thanks, I'll check it out. :)

I can easily fix the !important issue by using body .class for proper
specificity.
One question though. Why have you changed the typography. Does the RTL support
need this, or is it just a
preference of yours? :)

Hebrew and Arabic aren't Latin languages, they have completely different
scripts with
different typographical traditions.
Specifically, the special fonts used in Blueprint don't have Hebrew and Arabic
glyphs, and leaving them will cause Latin text to clash with Hebrew and Arabic.

Sounds good. I've added the plugin to the SVN. Could you check it out and see
if it works as intended? It will
need more testing and refinement, but at least now we have experimental support
for RTL languages. :)

RTL plugin now in SVN, seems to work fine. Further testing needed, but
preliminary RTL support fixed.
Add new issues if this plugin breaks somewhere. :)
