a truly bi-directional wiki
|
|
I live in Israel. We use mediawiki (version 1.15.1) for our
department's documenation, and have been happy with it. Although
we're in Israel, our wiki's primary language is English because:
[1] many of us are native English speakers
[2] it's a natural language for writing about computers, especially
when you often include commands, code, etc.
However, now we have more native Hebrew speakers, and so we'd like
more Hebrew documentation.
The problem is that while each user can change the language of the
interface, and we have a template for right-to-left text, the
_overall_direction_ of the wiki is still left-to-right. One symptom
is that lists (# & *) don't align properly.
Is there a way for a user to easily switch the overall direction of
the wiki? Or at least to set the wiki's overall direction on a
page-by-page basis?
If not, we might install a 2nd wiki whose primary language would be Hebrew :-(
