Thank you from Blockly!

Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Inkbug

You're welcome. Regarding the translated version: it seems to be working, but there are a couple of bugs:

  1. The .blocklySvg class needs a CSS rule that says direction:rtl.
  2. "Apps" is not in the list of strings to translate. Currently it shows up as Apps < Blockly < פאזל instead of Blockly > אפליקציות > פאזל.

Thanks, Inkbug. I'll talk to our CSS guy about direction:rtl, and we're currently discussing what to do with the "Apps" string, which I agree looks doubly awful in Hebrew.

Our JavaScript/CSS hacker said you are absolutely right and pointed me to inject.js, which has this comment:

 // Sadly browsers (Chrome vs Firefox) are currently inconsistent in laying
 // out content in RTL mode.  Therefore Blockly forces the use of LTR,
 // then manually positions content in RTL as needed.

We have decided to restructure our site to get rid of "Apps".

Thanks again!

I see (I only tested in Firefox). According to this the direction:rtl; handling is a bug in Firefox, and I hope it will be fixed soon. Until then, maybe add direction:rtl; text-anchor:end; to .blocklyText, and remove the text-anchor:end; part in Firefox (based on some browser or feature detection script)?

I'll pass along the suggestion.
