public class BidiTranslator
extends Translator
A translator that can mirror the host if a bidirectional language (Arabic, Farsi or Hebrew) is active. Use this class instead of the Translator component if you use or plan to use a bidirectional language.

The following paragraphs contain the layout information you need to create containers that can be mirrored.

BorderLayout

Use the BidiBorderLayout instead.

FlowLayout

No special requirements.

GridBagLayout

The container must use only absolute positions (gridx and gridy). If you need to use relative positions use the BidiGridBagLayout instead.

GridLayout

The container must contain at least as many components as the amount of grid cells.

No layout

No special requirements.

Any other layout

Derive a new translator class from this class and override the mirrorContainer method.
