Description Olivier Thereaux 2009-02-02 19:27:16 UTC 
The style and layout of the validator's UI and results assumes that the validator uses a language with left-to-right reading direction. With the submitted translation into farsi, this is no longer the case and the validator should be modified accordingly.

Suggestions:
* add config for reading direction on per-language basis
* add a dir="rtl" attribute, as well as class on the body
* based on class selector, apply different CSS for LTR languages
* adapt UI and results page accordingly.
