I'd like to ask for the "Export to PDF" feature for HE wikipedia.
Tim says he has emailed Johannes Beigel to ask whether the Collection
extension stack supports RTL languages.

Currently the PDF rendering software (mwlib.rl) does not support right-to-left languages. The main reason is that the underlying PDF toolkit (reportlab) does not support RTL languages. The good news is that just recently there has been some progress in adding RTL support by the reportlab community. I believe that it will probably take another month or two until RTL support will be available.
Enabling the collection extension on he.wikipedia.org should therefore be postponed.
Hi Ben. For any configuration change, we require a local consensus. Could you discuss the matter on http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VP (or any more appropriate place) to confirm that this change is wanted by the community, and paste the link to the discussion here?
No on-wiki consensus (or any discussion at all) was provided.
Please reopen after providing a link to local discussion with consensus.
