[Mediawiki-i18n] RTL-lang messages in a multilingual wiki

Hoi,
Consider in a multilingual mediawiki you can specify how many languages 
you allow for. It can only be one. The issue is that the behaviour of 
the screen is taken from the user preference, as well as from the 
content. A RTL user prefers to have his navigation, tools and search 
stuff on the right. The content needs to oriented based on the language 
involved.
Thanks,
     Gerard
