Description
Some parts of pages (specially some form fields) should be shown as left-to-right (LTR) even in right-to-left (RTL) locales.
Some important fields which should always be shown as LTR everywhere are:- Email address (line edit)
- URL (line edit)
- Host name (line edit)
- Username (line edit)
- Password (line edit)
- Language (selection list)
- Time zone (selection list)
- Editor (selection list in admin settings)
- Encoding (selection list in repository settings)
- All numerical fields (examples: issue id of parent, estimated hours, activity hours, % Done, maximum file sizes, ...)
There may be other always-LTR fields. But finding all of them is an exhaustive task which I haven't done yet.

Yet another important always-LTR field: Project identifier (line edit) which can only contain ASCII alphanumeric characters regardless of current locale.
#3 Updated by Ebrahim Mohammadi about 2 years ago
The first paragraph of /admin/info page (which shows name and version of running Redmine and name of the backend, both always in English) is always-LTR.
#4 Updated by Ebrahim Mohammadi about 2 years ago
"Age" and "Date" columns of repository view must be RTL in RTL locales. But they're currently always LTR wrongly.
