Adding Madhava Enros to this bug. He's leading a student team developing bidirectional text for Firefox for Android. Perhaps there could be some overlap between this and his team's efforts.

I'm adding building blocks' bugs that call to visually support RTL. 'Cause Supporting RTL languages by getting B2G strings localized is not enough if we're targeting a specific version, we have plenty of visual bugs. But I can not promise those (visual) bugs will land for 1.2 ..

Let > try to fix these issues. I don't think Delphine is saying that it isn't an issue, just that it's not critical to the 1.2 release. Likely something that can still be developed on the master branch. Wondering if Madhava is looking into this with his RTL student team in addition to the Fennec RTL issue?

While working on localization and fixing visual RTL bugs.. I have no idea about which version of Firefox OS will have Arabic... Can someone share that info with me please?

Can someone share that > info with me please? That has yet to be determined, but this bug is very much a blocker to determining it.

In mine scope, all you need to do is to add HTML attribute dir=auto

IMO since RTL work doesn't seem to be landing for anything earlier than 2.0 and knowing that Firefox OS 2.0 will have a different Homescreen approach Bug 989848, we should close all bugs related to the current (Horizontal-scrolling) homescreen.

To everyone's knowledge, RTL support for 2.5 is to be tracked on bug 1179459. Thanks!
Ahmed, should we close this bug then ?
(In reply to Julien Wajsberg [:julienw] from comment #18) > Ahmed, should we close this bug then ? Not sure whether there are/will still be people working on pre-2.5, I'm guessing we should keep it open just in case.
Updating spec link to point at our latest (2.5) spec.
