Sliding Sign direction for (Previous/Next) Articles - RTL

Hello,

I have checked all aspects of framework and I think its good now when using RTL. But one issue maybe its better to fix regarding Sliding Menu.

See in the screenshot:

In LTR languages, these icons are on the left-hand side of the texts, so shouldn't they be on the right-hand side of the texts in RTL languages?

These icons are on the right side of texts in English, and and must be the same in Arabic language if you look at the shape..

Its better to be the same as in English..

These downward pointing arrows indicate a dropdown-like behavior and it is commonly placed after the text, looking on various screenshots from operating systems in Arabic (as an example for RTL languages), the arrow is found on the left?

you are right but in the case of search (1st screen shot) it make you confused. But others are okay..

I don`t know but some arrows i feel they must be in the right hand. That you can know it by knowing what is easier in your language..

for example the following arrow is easier to use if its in the right-hand side:

In the end this comes down to individual preferences and expectations, the LTR-to-RTL conversion basically reverses positioning, causing items previously sticking to the right now appear on the left. Element placement is designed around the direction in which the eye moves, having most important things at the start and less relevant content on the opposite site.

We'll take care of any issues that are caused by the converter. Everything beyond that falls under individual customization and is entirely in your hands to take care off.

Sounds good. But what about the last screenshots (Articles)?
