    Hello.
    Do you intend to add BiDi support for Live writer?

    I really need the ability to write RTL languages correctly.

    Thanks.

    Hello Becky.
    Thanks for responding.

    Just to make it clear, I don't need any localization. In fact I prefer English GUI. All I want is those 2 little direction buttons just like in "Word".

    I wish you would add it to Hotmail Live as well.

    Thanks.

    Hi Royi,

    Those buttons should appear in the editing toolbar if your blog itself is RTL (if your blog is in English then they will not appear). If your blog theme is RTL but you don't see the buttons, can you try refreshing your weblog theme (from the View menu)?

    Thanks,
    Flora

    I don't want to set the blog direction to RTL, I just want to have these buttons available all the time. When?
