I need to add right-to-left (RTL) support for my web site, already implemented with Twitter Bootstrap. As far as I can see, the distribution doesn't have any. Am I missing something? Are there any external library/framework/tools for that?
[answering my own question]
Lack of RTL support in bootstrap is well known, discussed and documented issue. Apparently, there are discussions all over the web, specifically - in the GitHub project.
In GitHub, issue #6409 is the most recent discussion, with the very promising comment from @mdo that this will come in 3.0.
In the mean time, there are several things one can do. By far, the easiest approach would be to use the RTL Bootstrap from Hamed Ramezanian. Hamed manually changed the source file (mostly, the *.less files), and built a comparable framework for Right to Left. He even converted the documentation, and created a Persian web site: http://rbootstrap.ir/ (I speak Hebrew, so the site isn't very useful for me). As of April 2013 the project is very well maintained, with the most recent Bootstrap drop (v2.3.1) converted.
You can download the rtl version of bootstrap from this site http://rbootstrap.ir/ (for download click => http://rbootstrap.ir/assets/bootstrap.zip )
