Mission

The Ubuntu RTL Team's mission is to improve the support of right-to-left languages like Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew in Ubuntu.

What is RTL

RTL stands for right to left. Since RTL is a not the original direction of text and GUI's in computing it has it's own development challenges.

There is a table with information about the RTL languages.

We try to contribute our changes upstream as much as possible. Please try to stick to that code (literally) Smile :) .
