I’m just wondering what I can do to improve the situation for blogs running (and still running, once 2.1 comes out) 2.0.x that improves on just leaving my theme with xml:lang="en" lang="en" in as the default.

That’s in case you would like to display the RTL abilities with English, international WordPress installation out of the box.
I hope you’re catching my drift.
I’ve seen it working wonderfully on LifeType and I’m sure it can be done on WP.

The Hebrew WordPress community is still growing slowly with our own adaptions.
I would however, like to try this version and the new RTL features. I’m not sure how much impact this has, because directionality is not enough; themes need to be carefully fitted to RTL, with additions such as {text-align:right;) etc.
What else does this affect?

Localization is not simply translating the phrases and I am really delighted to see wordpress is proving it in action. Thanks to Ryan, Matt and Mani.

It might encourage some bloggers in other languages to use wordpress, too.
