Test mw.skin Refreshed for bidirectionality (RTL) support
Closed, ResolvedPublic

SamanthaNguyen wrote: We already iterate tests for LTR without thinking, which is pretty much stable - but we don't do much testing for RTL (right to left) support, which we should. There's a great tool called CSSJanus, located at https://cssjanus.github.io/. Note: This isn't of a high priority because currently no wikis in languages that are read RTL are using Refreshed but it'd still be nice to look into. It'd be great for in the future if we ever gain multilingual users however ?

As far as I can tell, looking at http://en.brickimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page?uselang=ar the RTL support seems mostly good. The two anomalies between LTR I can notice are the header gradient is not present in RTL and the wiki logo doesn't appear to display (however the GBC logo in the dropdown does). Not sure if these are just local issues or not?

I kept RTL in mind during Refreshed 4 development. My testing hasn't yielded any issues. I'm closing this for now, but if specific RTL issues come up feel free to make a new issue.
