Thank you Alex. I do have my native language added in Kcontrol, and I
switch between them regularly. Also, the interface of KDE is
Right-to-Left, as that is the norm for my language.

However, I need text fields to be right-aligned as well. In Mozilla
applications, independent of the language that I am typing in, I can
press Ctrl-Shift-X and the text will right-align. I need this
functionality in KDE applications as well for when I type in my
Right-to-Left language.

Thanks.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
