Hello, if message subject is encoded in utf base64 encoding, subject is garbled in message view. See screenshot.

This happens with all RTL languages and sprintf() calls, and I have absolutely no idea how to fix that.

I'm pretty sure this has been fixed when I discovered the Unicode code points to override the normal text direction. If not, then the translation has to be updated accordingly, see po/README.

I have tried couple of times inserting U+202D character into needed string but PHP only produces garbled characters like â€. Can you describe a little bit more how it should be inserted?

Reading again what I wrote, it doesn't make much sense to me

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 10:33:08 +0000

Reading again what I wrote, it doesn't make much sense to me anymore, since this should only affect RTL translations. And obviously it only works with UTF-8 encoded translations. I really don't know how to properly deal with a mixed charset/RTL/LTR string though, yet.

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 20:54:43 +0000

I'm pretty sure that this doesn't work, because it's a problem of the browser rendering, not of how the string is constructed. But if you can make it work somehow, that would be great.

Separating string by the first "(" sign and inserting the second part into second_part does the trick at least on IE8 and Firefox.

And does this still work with an RTL translation enabled?

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:44:36 +0000

OK, I finally got server with RTL language locales and tested. SPAN containing message numbers is displayed left-to-right, so this doesn't work. Can I propose adding new .ltr { direction: ltr; } class in horde/themes/screen.css and .rtl { direction: rtl; } class in horde/themes/rtl.css to override default browser behaviour in such cases?

That doesn't make much sense to me. If you have two class na

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:52:37 +0000

That doesn't make much sense to me. If you have two class names with simply implement the different text directions, you can use the css rule inline as well. Or do you mean that you need a class that has always the opposite of the default direction? But then it should have the same class name.

Ah, yes you a right. The name should be the same for both lt

Mon, 02 Feb 2009 15:54:53 +0000

Ah, yes you a right. The name should be the same for both ltr and rtl translations.

Can you make a patch of that?

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:10:08 +0000

I think I've fixed this without a need to make new CSS classes. Take a look at the patch and http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visuren.html#direction. I'm not sure if this is the right way to fix it, but at least it works on IE8/7, FF3, Opera9 and Safari3 both on RTL and LTR languages. Oh, and of course POT file needs to be updated. P.S. sorry for the CVS patch. I hadn't much time to dive into Git just yet.

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:49:18 +0000

It's not perfect, since the header is still not correct when using RTL translations, but it's an improvement, and RTL subjects are correctly rendered now. Nice work, thanks!

Thu, 05 Feb 2009 21:53:11 +0000

If you mean that in RTL it goes like (of 110 109) then try changing (%d of %d) in message.php into something like (%d RTLlanguagecharset %d) and it should work. Translations just need to be updated.

That's what I guessed. Thanks for the clarification.
