Original line of tabular inline admin is always shown on the left, even in RTL

[Eyal Cherevatsky]

When using a tabular inline admin model, the "original" line (containing the string representation and, optionally, a view/change link) is always show on the left. This is fine in most cases, expect for cases where the language is RTL (right-to-left).

The following CSS, if put in django/contrib/admin/static/admin/css/rtl.css, should resolve the issue:

.inline-group .tabular td.original p {
    right: 0;
}

Alternatively, instead of having specific styling for RTL, we can use inset-inline-start instead of left, which will work correctly for both LTR and RTL. I believe this should be changed here:

Thank you for the report and the patch!
I think I prefer option 2 but still testing 👍

Went for option 1 as the accessibility team is in the process of discussing the use of logical properties, see: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/17560
