Hello,

On Commons, the messages appear RTL text direction which is correct, but on the left, which I imagine is as unnatural as right-aligning for English.
Monobook appears to use the content language to decide whether to make the site as a whole right-to-left. I'm not sure if this is correct behavior. Certainly the content direction should depend on the content language, but I would think the overall page (and all interface messages) should depend on the interface language. Can anyone think of why the whole page should be the same direction as the content language and not the interface language?
..... shall I open a bug report, then? any other dev comments about this?
thanks, Brianna
