Created attachment 5994 [details] Hebrew Commons interface Hello, First of all thank you for all this great work u all have achieved in recent time like improved search. The Bug that I'm filing concerns Commons. The Arabic interface doesn't behave like the Hebrew interface which should be the case. I mean by that the mirroring of the tools like the toolbox. Steps to reproduce the intended functionality: Go to commons Go to my preferences Change the language to Hebrew (he) Result= All of the interface gets mirrored. The toolbox, logo and search go to the right and the Username to the left. Steps to produce the bug: Go to commons Go to my preferences Change the language to Arabic (ar) Result= The whole interface stays the same and only the language keywords change. What to do= Make the Arabic Interface behave like the Hebrew interface.

This is not a MediaWiki bug, because Commons [[commons:Monobook.js]] has this line importScript('Mediawiki:Monobook.js/' + wgUserLanguage); which imports specific configuration (written in JS) for the used interface language. Of course, there is [[commons:MediaWiki:Monobook.js/he]] but there is no [[commons:MediaWiki:Monobook.js/ar]]. Perhaps you should ask for help at Village pump there.
Actually it is, see bug 6100.
I don't see why this can be implemented in the hebrew language commons configuration and not in the arabic.

Of course it's only switching the interface for Arabic, but i asked one of the admins there to update the Arabic script, so that it can do a small translation stuff for images information.
