Hello,

Are you saying that the Arabic translation needs to be fixed or that

You can say that it's not possible to translate them and be correct in both
cases.
For example, "Notify" is used in both table header and action combobox.
Each should be translated in a different way, noun (header) and verb
(action). (Almost these are the most problematic strings).

Note that we had support for RTL languages a while ago, see 3d6c6cc

I would take a look on that!
(Finally found it :D)

is this what you are talking about? I think the plan in my head is better :)

Best regards,
Safa
