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
