RTL for <input type=file>

[mrmckeb]

This issue comes from this comment: #140 (comment)

A common convention for RTL languages is to reverse the label and button position - where the label is now first, and the button second.

Feature	Chrome	Firefox	Safari
RTL reversed	✔	✔	✔

The table below assesses the libraries and websites discussed in #114. Where libraries are marked as N/A, they didn't use the standard button-label layout.

Feature	MOJ	GitHub	Ant Design	Carbon	Evergreen	Materialise	Bootstrap
RTL reversed	❌	N/A	N/A	N/A	✔	❌	❌

Based on this research, I propose that we move forward with the recommendation that when the label is positioned to the right of the button, this is reversed for RTL languages.

This is a great point. We should add RTL views/support to all elements (see also: checkbox, radio, select, color input, calendar etc.)

RTL gets into style IMO as it's the implications of writing-mode which should handle text and layout. I don't think this currently belongs in an Open UI specification.

There hasn't been any discussion on this issue for a while, so we're marking it as stale. If you choose to kick off the discussion again, we'll remove the 'stale' label.
