What

RTL (Right-to-Left languages such as Hebrew, Arabic, Persian, Urdu, etc.) refers to languages written from the reverse order of LTR languages (Such as English, French, Latin, etc.), the UI should change accordingly.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to settings
  2. Select a different UI language
  3. The UI will remain in LTR

Expected behavior

It should change to RTL.
The most naive way is just adding the dir=rtl attribute to the <body> tag (can be done automagically with JS or even CSS directly) and then looking at all the glitches and fix them manually.
