   It’s now possible to put Soapbox into Arabic and flip the whole world upside down.

     @dave Arabic is a right-to-left language. Normally we proiritize things on the left side. For example, “Reply”, “Repost”, “Like” are in that order by design. In a RTL language we want to flip them so the most important action is on the right.

     Then it becomes easier to just flip the whole UI.

     @alex Why does being in Arabic mean the UI needs to be flipped?

     @dave I should point out, in the screenshot the arrows are wrong. It’s a known issue.
