Subject: Right-to-left GUI in pretest
Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:08:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADkQgvsb43aK8oLYHZwqAJO7xJG0y6B6FViqApiCrEq8a43pmg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Using a locale with right-to-left writing, for example
LANG=ar_EG.utf8 src/emacs-24.0.93.1
I get the menu-bar and the tool-bar in the reverse direction, that is
with the Help menu on the left and the File menu on the right, for
example.
This is a GTK thing. At least with ./configure --with-x-toolkit=motif
it's not like this.
If emacs was localized with non-English menus this would be good, but
since these things are in English anyway I think it only looks
strange.
(Also the mirroring affects the meanings of the values left and right
for tool-bar-position.)
