rtl support

[yong86]

Does angular localization supports rtl?.I mean if i select a rtl language,the directional context of the page is shifted from right to left.

The framework does not support that. You will need to add a locale change event handler to the direction of the document from ltr to rtl.

app.run(function ($rootScope, localeEvents, locale) {
    function localeChangeHandler() {
        var currentLocale = locale.getLocale();
        if (currentLocale === 'ar-AR') {
            angular.element(document.body).attr('direction', 'rtl')
        } else {
            angular.element(document.body).attr('direction', 'ltr')
        }
    }

    $rootScope.$on(localeEvents.localeChanges, localeChangeHandler);

    // do this the first time
    localeChangeHandler();
});

I will be nice though, if the framework were to automatically maintain the lang attribute of the html tag to match the current locale. That way you can write you css targeting this attribute.

html[lang="ar"] {
  direction: rtl;
}
html[lang="en"] {
  direction: ltr;
}

@tolbahadi yes I was thinking about modifying the lang attribute of the html document on localeChanges. Do you want to open a PR?
