right-to-left

I am using a StringBuilder in C# to append some text, which can be English (left to right) or Arabic (right to left) stringBuilder.Append("("); stringBuilder.Append(text); stringBuilder.Append(") "); stringBuilder.Append(text); If text = "A", then output is "(A) A" But if text = "بتث", then output is "(بتث) بتث" Any ideas? Hans Passant This is a well-known flaw in the Windows text rendering engine when asked to render Right-To-Left text, Arabic or Hebrew. It has a difficult problem to solve, people often fall back to Western words and punctuation when there is no good alternative word

I'm trying to combine one ruleset into two different rulesets with variable values swapped. Main purpose is LTR/RTL internationalization. Usage: h1 { margin-top: 10px; .directions({ margin-@{left}: 5px; }); } Expected output: h1 { margin-top: 10px; } .ltr h1 { margin-left: 5px; } .rtl h1 { margin-right: 5px; } I was able to get some results with the Passing Rulesets to Mixins function available in Less 1.7 .directions(@rules) { @left: left; .ltr & { @rules(); } @left: right; .rtl & { @rules(); } } The problem is that the @left variable is always set to the last value used in .directions()

I want it to produce the number next to a word so that I can ask the user to select the word by using the corresponding number. This is my code alt_words = hlst loopnum = 8 for i in range(loopnum): if i < len(alt_words): print('{0}. {1:<20}'.format((i+1), alt_words[i]), end =' ') if i == 0: print('', end=' ') if i + 9 <= len(alt_words): print('{0}. {1:<20}'.format((i+9), alt_words[i+8]), end =' ') if i + 17 <= len(alt_words): print('{0}. {1:<20}'.format((i+17), alt_words[i+16]), end=' ') print('\n'+'-'*80) It produces this The first number of each line gets printed on the left, but the word on

I learned how to make English and Arabic project from previous question I asked . Same Project at github Now what I did is added a label in this project and wrote "Welcome" . The problem is the layout. When I have English text it is at left side (obviously), but when the Arabic text comes, it should start from right to left. But it is aligned to left only. Any idea how to deal with such case? Below are the screenshots... English Arabic Fahim Parkar Below is what I did... Added fonts in projects folder (english.ttf & arabic.ttf) as shown here . In Localizable.strings added "myFont"="ACS

The scrollLeft property of a div seems to return different values in different browsers when the body direction is rtl. An example can be seen here - http://jsfiddle.net/auVLZ/2/ body { direction: rtl; } div.Container { border: 5px solid #F00; width: 500px; height: 400px; overflow: auto; } div.Content { background-color: #00F; width: 900px; height: 380px; }​ <div id="divContainer" class="Container"> <div class="Content"></div> </div> <br /> <input id="showScrollLeft" type="button" value="Show ScrollLeft" />​ $(document).ready(function() { $("#showScrollLeft").click(function(e) { alert($("div

I'm facing trouble in concatenating Arabic string with English string but their order is being messed! I tried + operator and str1.concat(..) but nothing works for me. var a = 'english' var b = 'أ.ب-000082-13' var c = '000004-ر خ-2014.xml' //var myCoolString =a + '\\' + b + '\\' + c; var myCoolString =a.concat("\\",b,"\\",c) document.getElementsByTagName('output')[0].innerHTML = myCoolString; The result was like this: english\أ.ب-000082-13\000004-ر خ-2014.xml The characters your are looking for are \u202A , \u202B and \u202C function wrap_dir(dir, str) { if (dir === 'rtl') return '\u202B' +

Is there a way to determine if the device is in a right to left language (something like Arabic) as opposed to something that's left to right (English)? Something compatible with older API levels (down to 10) is necessary SOLUTION i ended up using the xml method in the accepted answer.
