The markup it uses however, does provide a certain degree of RTL support, since browsers will inherently flip tables when rendering RTL.

Here’s what works and what doesn’t with a screenshot at http://yuiblog.com/assets/rtl-calendar.gif for reference

a). Text does get switched – as it does in general with any RTL charset.

Note: I don’t really read the script used in the example but I believe it’s correct and rendered RTL. It’s from some twiki somewhere

b). The table does get flipped as I mentioned, so the dates do read from right-to-left ( left-most column becomes right-most column )

What doesn’t get switched is:

i). The individual pages in a CalendarGroup – they still flow left-to-right. This is because they are divs (green border in image) so no ‘for-free’ switching.

ii). The left-right arrows – and hence scroll direction. For a regular (1 page) Calendar they are in a single TD, and hence don’t get switched around (red border in image)

We will evaluate the need requirement for RTL support to provide a more complete localization solution for future releases.

I could not find much info on whether YAHOO.widget.Calendar is bi-directional friendly?

I know it has built-in support for internationalization, but what about bi-di support?
