I'm working to add support for content in right-to-left languages (arabic, hebrew, farsi etc) on my English interfaced site. Displaying the content works fine, due to some custom code, but when creating new content the input boxes (title, body etc) are LTR, even though I select the corresponding language in the language selection box. How can I correct this? Hooking form_alter?
