Directionality buttons in Google Docs toolbar

Thank you, Joel, for the attention.

Users of RTL languages expect two directionality buttons in the toolbar (and elsewhere, where directionality applies).

One of these buttons is 'Left to Right' and the other is 'Right to Left'.

Attached screen shot of Google Docs' directionality toolbar buttons.

These buttons appear when bi-directionality support is on in LibreOffice.

Whether this is part of CTL, I don't know. I may have delved deeper into this subject in the past but I don't remember.

Just make sure that users of right-to-left languages (see Wikipedia for a complete list) have bi-directionality enabled by default in LibreOffice.

The detection of this should be based on the available keyboard layouts and not on the locale.
