English text in RTL mode
 
Hello,

I'm trying to set up a website using UDM4 in RTL-Mode.

The menu seems to look fine with Hebrew text, but I have a few items that contain english text and I was surprised to find out that the english text was reversed (eg. 'olleh' showing up instead of 'hello').

I did some research and found out that it is caused by the "unicode-bidi: bidi-override" directive.

Why is this directive activated by default? I've never seen it in use in any RTL website before.

You may want to try some custom CSS to override the default menu style. For example...

Code:

<li class='ltr'><a href='' class='ltr'>English Link</a></li>
then css...
Code:

.ltr {
  direction: ltr !important;
}

That may just do the trick.

I already managed to solve the problem by simply disabling the unicode-bidi directive:
Code:

<style type="text/css">.udm a *,.udm a { unicode-bidi: normal; }</style>
I just wonder why it has been there in the first place.
