<response_by> Kathy Li at 2011.09.14.09.33.47 </response_by> Dear dev team, would you please let us know the progress or plan for this defect? Dear Gaby, since the turn around time for fix defects is so short in this release, I suggest this defect to be deferred and the fix will be evaluated in the future release. Thank you for your understanding!
The code for this lives in org.eclipse.platform, but I have no idea how to fix this. The externalized text is found in org.eclipse.platform/plugin.properties: productIntroTitle = Welcome to Eclipse Is there a marker that has to go into the localized version of this file to indicate RTL positioning? What does the Hebrew/Arabic string look like for productIntroTitle?
Another question to ask would be how is the text being drawn on the screen? I'm not familiar with how 'Welcome' is written but is it rendered by HTML and JavaScript or is it actually pure SWT?
It is rendered as an HTML <span>. org.eclipse.ui.internal.intro.impl.html.IntroHTMLGenerator#generateIntroTitle

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
