Few changes to allow the support of right to left languages

[Amr Barghouthi (AmrBarghouthi)]

This to makes it possible to flip the image in RecolorImage which is needed for some icons when translating Apps to support Right to Left languages

[Amr Barghouthi (AmrBarghouthi)]

I added a function to indicate the language direction to be used in QML files
example use is adding the following to row layout elements parent

LayoutMirroring.enabled: catalog.i18nIsRightToLeft()
LayoutMirroring.childrenInherit: true

I'm a bit confused as to why you would want to mirror images in right-to-left scripts?

And the solution of adding a translated string may not be very robust either. It would be better to get this from the metadata of the translation. I think gettext.info() can read that.

GhostKeep image mirroring is going to be for stuff like arrows

as for metadata of the translation I will look into it

[Amr Barghouthi (AmrBarghouthi)]

I update it the i18nIsRightToLeft function to get the direction from language metadata
thanks Ghostkeeper for the suggestion

The only directional arrows that we have are really the folding arrows in the setting category headers. But those are not really related to any text, are they?

[Amr Barghouthi (AmrBarghouthi)]

yes but it's not only for arrows
for example

these icons look way better when mirrored in right to left application
anyway it is a feature of Uranium that doesn't really do any harm if added

I'll change this to layer.enabled: mirror to save some rendering performance. These images are used a lot (e.g. with every setting) so performance is important.

I can't seem to be able to get this to work.

I added this property to the Dutch translation .po files (all 4):

"Language-Direction: rtl\n"

Alternatively I also tried without the newline and space, in case that mattered (though I think Gettext filters that out):

"Language-Direction:rtl"

I then recompiled the .po files to .mo files and printed the isRightToLeft() function from QML:

print(catalog.i18nIsRightToLeft());

However it still returns qml: false.

Setting the mirror property works, but setting it to depend on being right-to-left never mirrors the image.
