When I saw the new update " Rev 162 "

i saw this line in header_common.htm FILE

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{$_G[langdir]}">

in arabic lang become

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="rtl">

OK....

This is not enough!

You must change in css files especially common.css and module.css files

and these files is ready .

But the question is how to change the css files when change the lang

----------------------------------------------------------------------

We can change in source/class/class_core.php by add new value for RTL template folder

UNDER THIS LINE

// set new language variables

I do not know what should be written, but I think it is not difficult

In the end I thank VOT on the great efforts

RTL template folder

You are right.
I know about this problem.
And I've seen your modified template and styles.
I still thinking about this...

Add a whole template for RTL languages - of course, it is not a good idea...
It is more reasonable to add a specialy prepared styles for change direction from left to right.
This special CSS file must contain only left/right properties but NO other elements...
How to prepare such type style replacement?

There are changes in the template files too , Not only modify on css files

Very difficult to write all the substituents of the values in css files , it is impossible

The best solution is to make a special template languages (from right to left) has been prepared

Or possible to determine the 5 most important files for the template (right to left).

I mean make 2 template

1 for RTL lang .. READY 100%
1 for ENG,..etc (LTR)

And link arabic flag with RTL template . .... your Job
And RTL template contains main image folder .... MY JOB .

-------------------------------------------------------

I have a suggestion

Be the image files for each language
e.g

english have english images
chinese have chinese images
.....etc.

we can make this like Direction Function in header_common.htm .

by Put replacements in the common.Css file And related files

What do you think about such type idea:
* Duplicate all the CSS files into 2 files ?
i.e.
common_ltr.css - for LTR languages
common_rtl.css - for RTL languages

After analyzing the direction setting we can include a corresponding CSS style by 1 line of code,
like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="common_{$_G[langdir]}.css?<?php echo VERHASH;?>" />

About image:
I think... May be, it is more reasonable to remove all the texts from all the buttons?

Or... just move SOME (not all!) of language specific images into each lenguage pack...

i.e.

yes , Duplicate Specific files in first
e.g
common.css
module.css

then Will we include more files ( not all ! )

about your is Great idea .

about image

I will speak later to fix problem .

khalid, let's try to decide:
What the images we can convert to blank buttons + text over it,
and what the images we must to place into a language pack?!

Language-specific images:

Khalid, yet another udea:
I think, we can use unified templates!
Most of all your modifications can be moved into CSS files...

Inspect all the templates modified by you,
and report the file names here.
