RTL – Loading alternate CSS for plugins

    Hi,

    I’m working on the Hebrew translation. Almost done.

    The problem is I need to load additional CSS for some plugins

    For example in bp-core, I also need to load admin-bar-rtl.css

    Can I expect something like this to be added to each of the plugins that is loading a custom css:

    if (get_bloginfo('text_direction') == 'rtl')

    echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="'admin-bar-rtl.css" />'."nr";

    The other solution is to add it manually, thus making any RTL translation much more troublesome to maintain and distribute…

    Great.

    Another small change that may be useful in the future:

    In the Home theme, the ID’s for the columns are “right-column, center-column,left-column”,

    Since the design may change (not only in RTL themes), you might want to rename theses to “column1, column2, column3”. More semantic.

    Edit: created ticket #182.

    Please note that WP and WPMU have a built in mechanism for rtl css files using the wp_admin_css() function in wp-includes/general-template.php. When using rtl text direction WP will add the file-rtl.css file so changes may be introduced.

    I recommend using it.
