I recently noticed that the Persian translation for 'whatlinkshere-barrow'
was removed from the language file because it was added to the ignore list
[1]. I don't think this is okay. The direction of barrow is different in RTL
languages, and as far as I know this hasn't been automatically taken care of
inside the code (correct me if I'm wrong). So, RTL lanagues do need to
translate the barrow. Before letting this be re-added and re-removed over
and over again, I thought this debate should be solved for once. Please
comment on this. If there is no objection, I'm going to readd that message
in RTL languages.
Please bear in mind that, RTL languages are supposed to be used in RTL
environment. If you test on English Wikipedia (or a similar one) and just
put uselang=fa in the URL, the "different" direction of barrow may not make
sense to you, and you may think the barrow should be in the same direction
for all languages. But if you try Persian/Arabic/Hebrew/... wikis, you'll
notice the required change.
Best,
Hojjat (aka Huji)
