When I start a new document, typically I do not tell Scribus what 
language will provide the main content. Many of our documents have a 
major part in a minority language and then some meta data and others in 
French. Some of our documents are bilingual!

I guess that you can create a nightmare for the programmers, in 
demanding that Scribus should automatically figure out which way to run 
a new document. Based on what data?

If there would be a simple manual toggle option at 
document-settings-level, RTL users could pre-set it at Scribus 
preferences level to be set RTL for any new document, while all other 
users would not even need any changes in their workflow.


What do you think?
