@Kaganer: Do you ask if someone maybe already works on this issue? Currently not.
Do you ask if someone could work on this issue? Your contributions are welcome.
Or do you imply that you cannot reproduce the problem anymore and that somebody maybe already resolved the issue?

1. Thanks for advise ;) My technical wiki experience (not so small) and my familiarity with really experienced wiki developers tells me that everyone should do their own thing.
2. This problem still reproduced anywere. As a result, using [[Special:PagetMigration]] for rtl languages is difficult.

Now I understand that this is a non-trivial task (and may be needs to remove tag "Easy").

This task is to adding

dir="rtl"

into

<textarea class="mw-tpm-sp-unit__target five columns">

This should be based on language properties, but there is single small problem: currently is no common way for determine this property by the literal language code.

PS: Similar issues "inwiki" are solved using templates {{dir}}, a very ugly.

I would still consider this easy task. On PHP side there is Language::getDir. JavaScript can call https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Special:ApiSandbox#action=query&format=json&prop=info&meta=&titles=Project%3AAbout%2Ffi or use ULS: $.uls.data.getDir.

Change 400251 had a related patch set uploaded (by Phantom42; owner: Phantom42):
[mediawiki/extensions/Translate@master] Add RTL direction support in the Special:PageMigration

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/400251

Issue fixed and tested! I didn't use PHP-side solution (it is not suitable here) and I decided not to do API calls from JavaScript side. In my opinion ULS ($.uls.data.getDir) is the best solution here.

Change 400251 merged by jenkins-bot:

After deploying new version on Meta-wiki, this tool is completly stopped any changes. Absolutely nothing performed after pressing "save" button. The best christmas changes...

See my comment in T179182 for details.

This change is not the cause of that problem. See my comment for details.
