Hi Moshe,

Thanks for your feedback.
I agree, we could update that, but this concern legal and logo usage
guidelines.
I am not sure we want the 4 F's to be at the left side of the Fedora logo.
And keeping the logo that way, if we just switch the side without
revert, it would look wierd IMHO.
I'll see what we can do for that.
Elad did most part of the RTL CSS. Elad, any opinion?
 
I think that the logo needs to be on the left because Fedora is an English word, and it will look weird on the right side of the screen.

They were. And we reverted.
We decided to not translate the 4 F's when they are printed with the
Fedora logo. Because it could lead to legal issues. Because we don't have
official translations in every languages. Because translations don't
always use words begining with an F. And because sometimes the wording
change during translations leading to misinterpretation. We wanted to
avoid that.

On an other side, the 4 F's are translated down on this page, when they
are not part of the Fedora logo.

Where? the 4Fs on the middle of the frontpage are non-translatable images, and I don't see the 4Fs anywhere else

 
Cheers,
