Hello,

Languages are controlled by Joomla itself, the template simply outputs whatever Joomla is set to. If your language is set to a RTL language then the template will automatically adjust to RTL.

Hello,

The positions would still be available in the backend. Changing the language does not effect the available positions in joomla.

Hello,

The modules are not showing on the site or they are not showing as options in the backend of the module manager? The language pack would not effect the selections in the backend. You may have to make multiple copies of each module, one for each language, that's usually how the language setup works.

Hello,

I just tested it locally and see no issues with any modules disappearing. Again, the template has no control over this functionality. That is all controlled by joomla itself by calling them off of the xml file. If your joomla installation is not showing the positions then there is something wrong with your joomla installation. If they are not showing in the backend you can always just type the position names into the inputbox rather than looking them. Also, make sure you have installed the template using the template installer in the backend of joomla and not by creating a folder and uploading the files.

Hello,

You can try in 1.6, but I am trying in 1.7 and see no issues.

Hello,

RTL is called by the following in the index.php file:

<?php if($this->direction == "rtl") { ?>
         <link href="<?php echo $LiveSiteUrl ?>templates/shape5_intrigue/css/template_rtl.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
      <?php } ?>

The direction is called by your default language file. If you change the == to != it will by default always call it in RTL.
