Yes. I don’t know if this is a change they will want to make, but it’s good you are interested in working on this. I’ve done some work on it in the past. I got involved with it to help set up a forum, but I don’t speak a RTL language. It’s a great way to learn the Discourse code. There are still a few issues in the javascript as well: [RTL interface has wrong position for some of popup boxes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/rtl-interface-has-wrong-position-for-some-of-popup-boxes/51503).
