 * I am working in the latest version of wordpress and with a child theme of the
   twenty eleven theme.
 * I have a menu bar positioned to the right hand side of the screen. When you run
   your mouse over the menu item a list of menu items drops down below. Then as 
   you run your mouse over those menu items the next list opens to the right and
   in some cases off the page. What I want to do is have the second list open to
   the left. Can some one please give me some idea how to achieve that.

 * I played around with the menu’s CSS of 2011 and come up with this. ( must be 
   used in **child theme** of 2011 )
 *     ```
       #access ul ul {
       	left:auto!important;
       	right:0;
       	float:right;
       	text-align:right;
       	box-shadow:-1px 3px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
       }
       #access ul ul ul {
       	left:auto;right:100%;
       }
       ```
   
 * This will make dropdown menu in 2011 adjusted to the left as opposed to right.
   I tested it in only FF, not sure how it will look in IE8.

 * To answer your first question no the language is English LtR.
 * But your second post was a great help, with that I got it working
 * Thanks
