Hi everyone 
I’m Barak from Israel - long-time board game nerd and big BGA fan.
Over the last weeks I built a small userscript for myself that auto-translates BGA pages/games into Hebrew so more Israelis can enjoy the site.
Quick note: it’s not “just Google Translate” - it uses an AI translation engine and tries to translate in context (so it handles boardgame terms and UI text way better than a basic machine translation).
Now I’m planning to translate more games and generally help make BGA more accessible for Hebrew speakers (and other RTL languages too), but I’ve hit a bigger issue:
RTL support isn’t 100% across the site, so even with a good translation, parts of the UI still feel “off” (alignment, layout, icons, some headers/menus flipping weirdly, etc.).
So I wanted to ask the community/devs what the best way is to contribute here:
1) Should I open a separate bug report for each RTL issue (small + specific),
or is it better to collect everything into one big RTL tracking thread/bug?
2) Is there already an RTL-related project/initiative or a place where RTL issues are being tracked?
3) Is there someone (dev / maintainer / community member) I can coordinate with, so I can report things in the most useful way and avoid noise/spam?
Happy to provide screenshots, steps to reproduce, and a clean list of issues (and I can test fixes too). I’m here for the long run - would love to help improve the experience for all RTL users.
Thanks a lot!
- Barak
