[Qt-interest] Qt::LayoutDirection and language

[Diego Iastrubni]

This is exaclty what qt_detectRTLLanguage gives you. The direction of the
language loaded into the translation.

Basically, all it does it check for this (which is set for Arabic and Hebrew
translation already):

QApplication::tr("QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION") == QLatin1String("RTL"))

However, If you want to do this for a non loadede language, IMHO, loading
the translation for that language is an overkill, and your hack is "good
enough".
