transfering english themes to arabic/hebrew

hi.

in drupal 4.7.4 a theme was done that supports right to left languages including Arabic and Hebrew. that theme was called bidi. not sure about drupal 5.

however it should be easy to do if you follow the following steps to customize any php template based theme.

1. copy your style.css file and rename it to become: style-rtl.css so that you have both style.css and style-rtl.css in your theme directory.
2. put the following at the beginning of your new style-rtl.css file:
   /* rtl */
body {
  direction: rtl;
   text-align: right;
}
3. in your template.php file add the following function:
   function phptemplate_stylesheet_import($stylesheet, $media = 'all') {
  $rtl = in_array(locale_initialize(), array('ar', 'fa', 'he', 'ur'));
  if (!$rtl) {
    return theme_stylesheet_import($stylesheet, $media);
  }
  if ($stylesheet == base_path() . 'misc/drupal.css') {
    $stylesheet = 'misc/drupal-rtl.css';
  }
  if ($stylesheet == base_path() . path_to_theme() . '/style.css') {
    $stylesheet = base_path() . path_to_theme() . '/style-rtl.css';
  }
  return theme_stylesheet_import($stylesheet, $media);
}

Hope this helps

I am using Drupal %.1 to create a magazine in Arabic, and every time i apply the RTL to the template the bullet points go all over the place, i was wondering if anyone could help?
