When Bitcoin-qt uses a localization to a right-to-left language (such as Hebrew), the interface and text is still displayed in the left-to-right direction.

It could be possible to get the text-direction from the system locale via QLocale.textDirection() and set it via http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/qt4/qtextoption.html#setTextDirection but I guess @laanwj is able to confirm this :).

I have no idea, I suppose it should be some kind of global option?
I'm surprised that Qt doesn't pick it up by default. I'd think right-to-left is a property of the language, not of the system locale. Maybe it needs to be set in Qt translator?

Can you be more specific? I just tried this out with Hebrew:
To my untrained eye at least, this looks fine, at least not bad enough to claim that "Bitcoin-qt incompatible with right-to-left languages".
Maybe it is not perfect, but someone that knows the language should comment in detail.

Closing issue because it not specific enough. I've established that basic right-to-left support is there.
No one in the dev team (AFAIK) knows right-to-left languages, so we need specific issues with screenshot to improve support further.
