Symphony.

I'm planning a bilingual website that would have both left to right and right to left text entires. I have no problems displaying rtl text in the frontend, but I can't figure out how to make it work in the backend. This is crucial to the authors and the translators that need to draft the articles. Maybe I should build a custom field or something like this, but I have no idea were to start. Did anyone had the same problem? Thanks everyone, Giulio

In case someone else will need it I’ll post my solution. I just used the Admin CSS override extension.

textarea[name="fields[body-ar]"] {
    direction: rtl;
}

Just put the name of the field whose content you’ll want to display right to left.

It works perfectly!

Thanks for posting this, Giulio. We’re working on plans for building true localization support into the core. In the meantime, I’m sure folks will find this helpful.
