gedit-comparision-english-arabic.png

Shows that gedit mirrors when run in Arabic locale.
LC_ALL=ar_EG.UTF-8 gedit
mirrors the UI,
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 gedit
show the "normal" UI.

typing-root-password-in-arabic-in-anaconda.png
Another screenshot when typing the root password in
an Arabic installation in anaconda.
One can see the the labels for the password entry fields
have colons (:) on the left side, which looks completely
wrong when the entry fields are to the right of these labels.
This would also be fixed by mirroring the UI, then the entry
fields would be correctly to the left of the labels.

Created attachment 798202 [details] anaconda-comparing-russian-and-arabic-ui-no-mirroring-is-done-for-arabic.png GTK applications like gedit, gimp, ... mirror the UI when running in a locale of a language using a right-to-left script. Anaconda does not. It should. (Tested with Fedora-20-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso).
