Word order error in RTL language

[Gheyret T.Kenji]

Dear maintainer and developer:

I am from Ubuntu Uyghur Translation group.
When displaying strings which starts with English words, the position of the English word in not correct.
please look at attached sreenshot.
Translation of the "Ubuntu Software Center" in Uyghur is not correctly displayed on right top corner. On the other two places is displayed correctly.

This problem occured in Ubuntu, when translation starts whith English words(in Uyghur language).

This is very seriues problem.
Please fix this bug.

[Gheyret T.Kenji (gheyretkenji)]

this is another screent shot.
In the sceenshot:
Uyghurix is my computers name. gheyret is my account name.
Uyghur is RTL language, so the Uyghurix must be first word in the string.

adding Ubuntu Translations to the mix.

[David Planella (dpm)]

Maybe a libdbusmenu issue?

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Changing the issue to fix released since in Unity 5.10 (current precise) i see all three texts to be the same, attaching a screenshot in a second. If you still have this issue after upgrading to precise please reopen it.

[Gheyret T.Kenji (gheyretkenji)]

This bug still exist in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta.
I think this bug related to a library, not a specific package.

When translation starts with non Uyghur words, Menu Text is not displayed correctly.
Please look the attachments.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Hi Gheyret, none of us here speak Uyghur, could you please highlight the non correct texts and explain what would be the correct ordering for them?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Rustam (rustam-hotmail)]

Hello Albert,

thank you for giving attention to this bug.

Sorry for the lack of the explanation.

This time i have attached the current order of the words (wireles_menu.png)
which is reported as bug,and the correct one which is highlighted.
(wireles_menu_right_one.png)

If you still having trouble to figure out please give a look at
wireles_menu_with_mark.png which is current order
that marked by number and the right order should be �,�,�

Hope this bug get fixed ASAP.

With best regards
Rustam.

[Gheyret T.Kenji (gheyretkenji)]

Hi Albert Astals Cid,
I uploaded the three screenshot again. I marked wrong ordered text.

[Gheyret T.Kenji (gheyretkenji)]

Hi Albert Astals Cid,

The text file contains Uyghur translations of wrong ordered text.

In command line I am using pango-view converted the text file to png file.

For translation.png using command :

pango-view -q --rtl --font="UKIJ Tuz" translation.txt -o translation.png

the result is the same in above three screenshot. Text order is wrong.

and I am using

pango-view -q --rtl --no-auto-dir --font="UKIJ Tuz" translation.txt -o translation_no_auto.png

command, converted the text to translation_no_auto.png.
The result is correct. This is correct text order.

[Albert Astals Cid (aacid)]

Adding Pango to this bug then, since it seems a problem there and not in unity-2d as far as i see it

[Gheyret T.Kenji (gheyretkenji)]

I think, this is a library problem, which displaying MENU and LABEL using Pango.
I don`t now, which library is responsible displaying MENU and LABEL in UI.
