Right-to-left language support

[sftim]

This is a Feature Request

What would you like to be added
Add support for serving the Kubernetes website and displaying it in a right-to-left language such as Arabic, Hebrew or Urdu.

Why is this needed
On the web, content is usually rendered horizontally. Existing merged localizations are all right-to-left, or can be (Chinese and Japanese, for example, are also sometimes written top-to-bottom starting top right).

Comments
We'll need this as part of adding Arabic and Persian.

This is likely to form an umbrella issue with child issues to cover specific topics.

For visibility adding generalized support for this is an open issue in hugo: gohugoio/hugo#3255. This issue also proposes a reasonable stop-gap solution.
