As an RTL speaker (To clarify: I don't speak from right to left, I speak in a language that is written from right to left) this looks good to me:

Maybe we should launch it in a RTL beta wiki (like fawiki in beta cluster) and I take a look at it?

It's already in Persian beta wikipedia. I tested some items. Albert Einstein looks good but numbers are not localized. The birth date is "1312" but it should be "۱۳۱۲" because some languages use different digits. (not an RTL issue). Berlin looks okay but we might want to move "Commons category" value to left because it'll be English.
Most strangely it errors out on Italy which is definitely not an RTL issue but I guess serious enough.

Wow, that's weird, it's coming from the getLanguageCode() call on a site object. And the same item works here: https://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espesyal:AboutTopic/Q15905 Might be worth opening an investigation ticket for this to not lose track of it.
Same for the number localization.
Thank you so much!

While you are at it, can you change the description for https://fa.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:AboutTopic?entityid=Q44075 such that Einstein is described as an all around "great" dude, not "gread" dude?!
