Hi Michael,
Think of it that way, since wizards are inspired by books you would expect
them to act likely, Hebrew books for example are opposite, the beginning of
the book is the other way around while the ending is where you would
usually start reading a book, for example -
http://sfile.f-static.com/image/users/243168/ftp/my_files/Hebrew%20Books/Leather%20Like%20Cover/sop-resize-400-%D7%A1%D7%A4%D7%A8-%D7%94%D7%9E%D7%99%D7%93%D7%95%D7%AA.jpg?id=12586987&sopC=1382371260706
Since we don't want to interfere with user interaction we may add the arrow
but we should make sure it's going the right way, is there a way I can
watch a demo of Ubuntu Phone in RTL mode?
Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani
