Lebanon... Happy N900 user, I can safely say the N900 like most Nokia devices, was a hit in Lebanon. I personally know plenty of people who are in love with their N900.

Re: Who's here from the Middle-East region?
 

Indeed it is nice to see that there are lots of locals. Perhaps we should together report on BiDi bugs that are still in the system. E.g. in chat messages, the message gets formatted as an LTR message if you have chosen an English name of your contact. The proper behaviour would be to ignore the name when deciding the message direction.

Re: Who's here from the Middle-East region?
 

You mean if the contact name was in arabic?

If thats the case, tell me exactly how does this happen, i might be able to get it through...;)

Cause one of my jobs is to check arabic related problems

Peace

Re: Who's here from the Middle-East region?
 

I actually haven't tested it with a RTL name, but only with LTR contact names, in which case it doesn't work correctly. E.g. if I send an SMS and with the message "SHO HADA?" where I use the convention that capital letters signifying RTL letters and small letters LTR, my SMS conversation will say:

you: ADAH OHS?

i.e. the question mark is in the beginning of the RTL sequence and not at the end. That is because the "base direction" (in the terminology of the Unicode Bidirectional Algorithm, see: http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr9/tr9-21.html ) is not determined by the contents of the message.

The way I implemented this in gtk is to look for the first "strong character" of the paragraph and let it determine the bidi direction. In gmail chat on the other hand it seems like they have some kind of "voting" so that if more characters are RTL than LTR then this becomes a RTL paragraph. But most environments just determines the base direction from the locale, which unfortunately mostly is wrong.

I guess I should copy his message to the Nokia bugtracking forum.

Dov
