Flip controls when the page is partially in RTL

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/291100

The map seems to be rendering correctly when the entire page is in RTL (Hebrew).
The problem you mention only happens when the page is LTR (English) and only the webpage content is RTL (translating to Hebrew) (sounds a bit weird to me to have half of the page LTR, half RTL, but this seems to be the case during a translation - see example above).

Here is a screenshot with the patch applied:

Note to @Esanders : In this translation case, the OOui Dialog would open, but since it would be outside of the #bodyContent, it doesn't carry over the RTL context (.mw-content-rtl) so the popup is renderer LTR. This seems like something that must be supported/fixed within OOui Dialog.

@Amire80 After a discussion with the team, we think the controls position should be based on UI language rather than content language.

• In the case the UI+content is RTL, ResourceLoader flips the CSS properties so the map controls are flipped as expected. Example

• In the case the UI is LTR (English) and the content is RTL (Hebrew), the map controls will be positioned LTR.
• In the case the UI is RTL (Hebrew) and the content is LTR (English), the map controls will be positioned RTL. Example

@Amire80 Let us know if you see any issue with this decision.

@JGirault, thx, well put. Should the above patch be reverted or modified?

@Yurik Yes, here is the revert patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/291112/
