           Summary: No autmatic detection of paragraph direction in the
                    editor
           Product: lokalize
           Version: 0.2
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: shafff@ukr.net
        ReportedBy: khaledhosny@eglug.org


Version:           0.2 (using KDE 4.1.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unspecified Linux

Lokalize's editor inherits its direction (whether rtl or ltr) from that of the
UI, so when running Lokalize with English all paragraphs are left aligned, the
same with Arabic interface; all will be right aligned.

Instead paragraph direction should be determined according to the first strong
BiDi char, according to Unicode BiDi algorithm (UAX #9).

Kbabel used to do this, so may be its paragraph direction detection code (if
there any) can be of some use for Lokalize. It'll be nice if doing this don't
disable the ability to switch paragraph direction present in Qt4.
