Pontoon's web-bases translation editor doesn't follow text-transform rules for Turkish. Setting a lang=tr attribute should fix fix this. See bug 231162 for the related discussion.

Setting a language attribute using javascript would work ? What about rtl languages like Arabic (ar) document.documentElement.lang = 'tr' How do I test if the text-transform rules are followed after testing this out ? and when should this change in lang attribute be made ?

My understanding is that each element we translate in-place should have lang attribute set to whatever language we translate to, just like we do in the textarea in the sidebar. Selim, could you confirm this before we start digging into implementation details?

That's correct, Matjaz.

OK, so we should set lang attribute to locale code whenever an element is being edited in place or saved. We should also set dir attribute on these elements (to "auto"), which is bug 1161687 and can be fixed in a separate PR.
