RTL inline action lists rendered out of sequence

I'm working on a multilingual site that includes Arabic.
I've noticed that
inline lists of actions, like site actions, seem to render
out of sequence
in RTL mode.

Example here:

It's really strange, because the actions *are* rendered in
the correct order
in the HTML source.

Any clues as to why this might happen, and possibly how I
can fix it?

(Plone 2.1.3, screenshot taken from Firefox 1.5.0.5, same
behavior observed in
IE6)

Thanks,

Sean F

Try:

#portal-siteactions li a {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 1em; /* padding works fine too if you prefer
that */
}

in RTL.css.dtml. Works in firefox and safari (os x) and ie6
and  
firefox (win xp). My guess is that this is a problem with
firefox's  
and ie's RTL support (afaik it shouldn't work like that.
It was  
working with Safari as it was.)

It's good to hear that someone else is using Plone for
Arabic site as  
well. We're building a site in Saudi-Arabia that will be in
both  
English and Arabic.

We put a lot of effort into translating Plone into Arabic.  
Unfortunately the translation files should be reviewed by
someone who  
understands Arabic and corrected for errors (there are a lot
of these).

If you're interested in the review process or just want to
use the  
files as they are, I can send them to you.
