bidirectional languages

Hi,

Does the translation feature of web2py support bidirectional languages?

Yes. You have to translate the CSS that determines the alignment as well.

My translation file is applications/eden/languages/ur.py (eden is my
application name).

There I have an untranslated string as "Today (Monday)" and in Urdu
language which is a RTL it is displayed as "Today ((Monday".
I want to have the "(" and ")" in LTR and the rest in RTL.

How can I accomplish this?

You have to use something like in CSS

.rlt
{

direction:rtl;
}

.ltr
{

direction:ltr;
}

and use something like 

<span class={{=T('rtl')}}>{{=T('text')}}</span>

and translate the direction as you translate the text.

I didn't clearly get you, need some more clarification. Do you mind to
have a chat. I have already sent you an invitation via gtalk. Or else
if you are in skype or irc that would also be fine. Thanks in advance.
