 > In english and other LTR languages the content aligned to left and the
 FYI box floated to right. And, as you said, it is reasonable to assume
 that in a RTL language, the FYI box should be floated to the left. BUT
 because the content is always in English (and it's aligned to left), the
 FYI box should be floated to the right.

 english.

 Forgive me for being confused, but it appears to me in the screen shot
 that you attached that all the text in the FYI box is in Hebrew with the
 exception of the numbers and the authors name.  It's my understanding
 though (unless I am mistaken), that in Hebrew the Arabic numbers are used
 to represent money, age, the civil calendar date, and in math.  To me this
 would indicate, that the only non-Hebrew word(s) is the name of the
 author.  I looked up numerous plugins in WP 3.5 localized in Hebrew and
 everyone of them had Hebrew for everything, Arabic numerals for the
 numbers, and English words for the name of the author.  That being the
 case, would you not then agree that the box should be floated to the left
 as I assumed?

 Now, if you are referencing the plugin description, then yes, that is in
 English and the text of the plugin description should be aligned left.

 I'll attach a couple of screen shots, one showing the first patch applied
 and the second screen shot showing the second patch applied.
