[Qt-interest] Using RTL and LTR languages in a User Interface

[Asier Tamayo]

Hello Friedemann,

Thanks for your help.

Would you be so kind to send me a couple of images (with and without -reverse) showing the widget order switch? As I wrote in a previous e-mail, at this moment I'm not yet using Qt4. If I see it working, it would be a strong reason to start the porting, but I'm afraid it's quite too much work to install Qt4 just for this demo.

Of course, I would completely understand if you decide you have already given too much of your time to me.

Anyway, and again, thank you very much

Asier
