The dailpad is reversed in Hebrew and other rtl languages.
The numbers need to be from left to right also in Hebrew.

Do you mean that what is written inside each button is good, and only the order of buttons is not good, i.e. it should be:
1button 2button 3button
4button etc.?
Comment 2 Yaron Shahrabani 2011-03-22 16:08:23 UTC
Everything inside the buttons look just fine.
In Israel we usually include the ABC alongside the Israeli alphabet (Yes, each key has at least 6 characters on it besides some exceptions).

The problem is the way the keys are ordered.
Look at the following example:

The numbers are at the same order as the Latin one, the only thing different is the addition of letters on them, that's it!

Kind regards,

Do you know if this is true for all RL languages?

A typical Farsi/Persian keypad

For those who can't read the Persian numbers, 1 is the topmost left continuing to the right (3 is at the end of the first line) then 4 starts the next line etc.

Arabic keypads in Israel have the same letters and directionality as the Hebrew keypad (Meaning that there are the numbers we usually use) while Persian maintains the directionality but uses Persian numerals instead of the ones we use (Called Arabic numerals by the way... pretty ironic actually since there are special Arabic-Indic numerals which are different than the regular 123).

BTW, there is a possibility that in certain Arabic countries they use their special numerals (١٢٣ Arabic Indic) but in Israel I usually see the regular 123 alongside Arabic letters.

Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani.
