Well if you look in the AbiSuite directory you will
see that there are many "system profiles" for
different locales.
These are seperate from your user profile but they
have the same abilities.
If you start in "en_US", the en-US system profile will
be used, if you start in "he_IL", the he-IL system
profile will be used. (I'm assuming that an "he-IL"
system profile has been created by somebody).
Now the he-IL system profile probably should contain
the line:
DefaultDirectionRtl="1"
and the en-US one should contain:
DefaultDirectionRtl="0"
If it's not that way, then that is a bug that needs
to be fixed.
I'm not sure if LANG, LC_ALL, or another variable is
currently the best one to use sorry - I'm a little
out of the Unix loop ):
