That's nonsense and you know it Bruno.
Childplay, which is pygame based, supports all languages including RTL.

The only problem which is unrelated to this is the 'shaping' for
Arabic, pyfribidi
needs to be updated to the latest fribidi version.
Again this has nothing to do with SDL/GTK, in fact pango uses fribidi just like
childsplay does.
Taken from the gtk-i18n list:
"""
....
FriBidi is a separate library, but Pango includes a trimmed down
version of its source code in the pango/mini-fribidi directory.
.....
"""

What has language support to do with animations ?!
Language support is gettext and fribidi, it has nothing to do with graphics.
Our apps are graphic based activities, we don't do fancy pango text stuff,
we use nice big buttons and simple text.
