Thanks for the report. According to http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php both spellings are allowed. However, Wikipedia seems to prefer the latter, so I've changed it.

However, according to http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=uig, this language is used with multiple scripts, and we can't encode that information in Launchpad today (some of them left-to-right, others right-to-left). What is the predominant script? According to wikipedia, it's either Latin or Arabic, but I don't know which one is.

Also, please do not file bugs about updating data for languages, and instead open new questions at https://answers.launchpad.net/rosetta/ - thanks!

Hi.so happy for your letter.
The text direction of Uyghur lanuage is Right to left in the most users who
live in Xinjiang,China.There are some Uyghurs in abrod just use Latin
Sicribts and they are so few.So you can change it into Right to Left.

Thanks.
