 * Hi, in order to activate RTL option, you have to activate the language file that
   is RTL.
 * At this time Tiny Forge doesn’t have native language file for all languages, 
   bus you can successfully use Twenty Twelve language files. Get your language 
   file:
 * [http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/twentytwelve](http://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp/dev/twentytwelve)
 * and put it in the folder “languages”.
 * Then activate your language:
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language](http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_WordPress_in_Your_Language)
 * _[ [Signature moderated](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Signatures).]_
 * Some background info:
 * > Displaying the Site in RTL and LTR
   > Now that your content is translated, it’s time to move our attention to the
   > theme.
   > This little line does most of the magic:
   > `<html dir="rtl" lang="he-IL">`
   > You can see if it you view the source of any Hebrew page. For example, the 
   > home page.
   > The `dir=”rtl”` attribute tells the site that the display direction for the
   > entire site is Right to Left. Browsers understand it and will flip everything
   > to right direction.
   > This single PHP line, from header.php, makes it happen:
   > `<html <?php language_attributes(); ?>>`
   > The call to language_attributes inserts the dir and lang attributes. The values
   > come from the core .mo file. If you have the correct .mo files for WordPress,
   > you get the correct values for these attributes.
   > If your theme’s HTML and CSS follow ‘safe’ practices, this is really all you
   > need. By safe, I mean no absolute positioning or widths. If you must use absolutes,
   > you may consider loading different CSS per language.
