-----------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: 3.7.0
> Cordova dialogs should support BIDI text
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-7499
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7499
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Android, Plugin Dialogs
> Affects Versions: Master
> Reporter: Mike Billau
> Assignee: Mike Billau
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: bidirectional, globalization
> Fix For: 3.7.0
>
>
> Since API 19, Andorid has had the facilities to deal with bidirectional text, however, current Cordova notification implementation does not correctly handle bidirectional text in dialogs.
> We can see this is the case by first setting the language to Hebrew and then launching the following dialogs:
> navigator.notification.confirm("Pure English !!!", function(){}, "7");
> navigator.notification.confirm("עברית היא שפה מדוברת בIsrael !", function(){}, "8");
> Since we are in Hebrew, the base text direction will be RTL. This means that when we see the second notification with the Hebrew text, it will be right-justified. When we click and see the "Pure English !!!" notication, because locale is RTL, we should expect to see: "!!! Pure English" and it should be right-justified, however, we still see "Pure English !!!", left justified.

> Ideally you should be able to just add android:supportsRtl="true" to the manifest, however, this is doesn't seem to ne enough without setting the text direction to the locale for all of the dialogs.
