Comment 10 for bug 834386

While I totally understand the need to localise the Greeter and appreciate the work that's going towards it – I'm afraid in this particular case I have to disagree (this is after consulting another Hebrew speaker in the design team).

One of the main design memes of the Unity Greeter is that it closely aligns with the desktop. Mirroring the top bar, even in RTL, undermines that meme. The indicators should stay where they are on the desktop. What we get now is a rogue screen that has its own logic.

As soon as Unity/Ubuntu gets full RTL support, the indicators should move too – not before.

The right-aligned userlist I think is the best solution there. Definitely no left-right jumps. RTL can take the lead there and Latin names follow (path of the least weirdness). However, like I said the carousel should stay on the left.

Hope this helps.
