Precise is in Beta 2.

[[https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/654988 | Unity and Nux's support of RTL is in the works]] and not yet released.

In order to prevent widespread chaos, a temporary solution would make a [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/963682 | fallback from Unity to Unity 2D for RTL locales]].

This must be done before precise is released in order to provide a reasonable experience for RTL users in Ubuntu precise.
