Re: [platform-ui-dev] Workbench BIDI support flips everything?
|
Bianca please see the BIDI documentation on this
Platform Plug-in Developer Guide -> Other reference information ->
Bidirectional support.
We only change the orientation if the -dir rtl command line parameter is
invoked or if the -nl command line parameter is invoked with a
birdirectional language as many of our users in bidirectional countries
use an untranslated Eclipse.

[platform-ui-dev] Workbench BIDI support flips everything?
When we conduct our globalization testing for BIDI support, we usually set
the system locale to a BIDI language speaking country (e.g. Hebrew in
Israel) in "Regional and Language Options" if not on a native platform.
Starting eclipse this way doesn't seem to make the workbench
right-to-left. However, in TPTP, we have a Test Log Viewer editor that
contains a graphical pie chart. The pie chart is displayed correctly in
this case (note the legend used to be on the right hand side of the pie in
a English locale, as well as inside the legend, icons used to be at the
left side of the text pass, fail...):
However, if I use "-dir rtl" or "-nl he" with eclipse.exe, the workbench
started with all UI parts flipped including the pie chart which is no
longer readable:
Which one is the correct case with BIDI language like Hebrew? Does
eclipse.exe has to be started with -dir or -nl options on a BIDI system?
If so, should all the graphics be flipped at all?
Your help on this will be very appreciated.
