Description

When we're using the Hebrew UI, the slider prompts on OTBI analytics goes to the wrong side.

Use Case and Business Need

The slider prompt is currently unusable when using the Hebrew interface (right-to-left).

By fixing it also the the slider will be usable also in the Hebrew UI.

    All IL customers working in Hebrew need it

    Does anyone from Oracle intend to address this issue??

    This is a bug more than an 'idea'.

    Hello,

    I am Michal Shachar, Hebrew Senior Language Specialist (IPS).

    Horizontal sliders should be mirrored - please see https://medium.com/@giladalmosnino/ux-best-practices-for-bi-directional-languages-9bd7b96dc8c2.

    Same as the R/W direction is R2L, horizontal slider should also go R2L.

    Please see attached screenshot with explanations.

    IMHO, the bi-di support here is incomplete because the some UI components have been mirrored, and the slider hasn't. To complete the bi-di support the slider should be mirrored as well. The progression from Active to Complete should comply with the language's directionality, which is Right To Left. It just does not make sense going L2R.

    Hope this helps.
