Description
When working with a RTL (right-to-left) theme, such as garlandrtl, the version numbers of modules is displayed in an awkward way.
The update_status module defines a special div around the version numbers, and thus there is a trivial fix: http://drupal.org/node/126568.
There is no such a div in the core, and therefore I have opened this bug.

#1
Attached is a patch that adds a proper class to the version numbers, and defines this class as 'direction:ltr'.
#2
Tested and approved. But...
I think that while we're there, we might as well do the same for the Module Name column, since module names are (almost?) always in English, thus ltr.
#3
Not sure we want to link these two together, however, I looked at the code and it looks like the module name does not get translated. If someone can confirm this, I can add this to the patch, otherwise, let's open a different issue for the names thing.
#4
Committed to Drupal 6 and also ready for Drupal 7.
BTW module names are not translated on purpose, with the idea that it is easier to identify a module you just installed, without knowing what crazy translation your language team provided for that. So a new issue on that might indeed be applicable.
#5
Committed to CVS HEAD as well. Thanks yhager.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for two weeks with no activity.
