You can select the language, and indeed the toolbar becomes RTL for Arabic. However, the editor content body doesn't respect that setting, nor the html body/head tags for RTL.

The solution is to add the following to the CKeditor Profile > advanced options > custom javascript configuration

contentsLangDirection = 'rtl';

Can someone add this to the Documentation? Or better yet, turn this into an actual configuration setting under the language option, e.g. Force RTL: Yes/no

I can't reproduce your problem, i have everything correct. After save, drupal return only text with lte. Can you write something more about web browser, ckeditor version ?

I think we definitely need two toolbar buttons for easier switching beteen RTL/LTR instead of doing it through styles dropdown list.

Regarding adding contentsLangDirection to the Profile.. hmm that might be a good idea as well.
