[Topic] right to left text direction

Hi,
There seems to be no support for languages which are in right-to-left text direction. Is this planned?
Thanks

I'm not terribly familiar with interface difference for applications that provide right-to-left language support. I assume Java provides some support for that for it's text input fields.

What changes would you expect for the interface to feel correct? I assume field labels placed right of the fields. Labels would probably need to be right-aligned. Table columns would probably need to be reversed. What about menus, and trees? Should the tabs on the left and the item lists be moved to the right?

A lot of those changes could probably be made without a lot of trouble.

Could you provide some links to screenshots of applications providing right-to-left language support?

Thanks.
