[Soc-2011-dev] Final Report - Garlic Branch

[Dalai Felinto]

Hi Yousef

are you able to build your own Blender for testing? I reversed all the
arabic strings in ar.po. I wonder if this produces a readable result
(I expect the hinting and other font aspects to still be a big problem).

The flipped po is here -

Here the patch against garlic:

The script I used is here -
http://blenderecia.orgfree.com/blender/scripts/flip_po.py

Cheers,
Dalai
(if there is much follow up from here I guess we should "move" to
bf-committers)
