Right to left problem

[Navid_Khosravi]

There is a great problem when using EA with Languages that are right-to-left (such as Arabic, Farsi, Hindi, ..etc.). Especially when the entered string consists of both right-to-left and left-to-right items. In such conditions the displayed element on the diagram is not readable.
The reason is that the controls are not aware of the entered string direction. As far as I know, EA is written in VC++. It is recommended that for important controls, you enhance the controls to remember the direction of data at the entry time. For example when the user is entering or editing the class name or requirements’ short description, store the entered string in addition to the chosen direction of the control at that time. When displaying the string in a view like a diagram or report (RTF,..etc.), set the control direction according to the stored one. It is not needed to enhance all controls.  The main ones as the highest priority might be those that a user may use his/her own language in addition to English in them such as:
1.Requirement Short Description when they are being displayed in a diagram.
2.Aliases of elements especially actions, activities and classes and aliases of attributes and operations when the alias is being shown in a diagram and also when they are being displayed in the tree view( I mean project view).
3.Notes and description
