 First problem: There's a horrible bug in the Wordpress theme-foundation
 (Not only the Twenty-Fourteen theme that I currently use) that affects all
 objects that depend on the orientation, including drop-down menus. For
 example, in this page:

 http://link.afach.de/rtlproblem

 Apparently the menus are hidden to the fore-left, and then appear as drop-
 down when one hovers on them. Now the problem is that they really show up
 on the fore-left, creating an infinitely long horizontal scroll-bar. In
 the webpage, I fixed this problem using the CSS Tags:

     .primary-navigation ul ul, .primary-navigation ul ul ul {
         left:auto;
         right: -999em;
     }

     .primary-navigation ul li:hover > ul, .primary-navigation ul li.focus
 > ul {
         right: auto;
     }

 which I got from an expert on Stackoverflow after this problem drove me
 really crazy because I, myself, am not a CSS expert. Anyway, please visit
 that page, and remove these tags, and see how the menus will appear,
 creating a very long horizontal scroll-bar that ruins the page.

 Second problem: The same problem also exists with the default Wordpress
 video player. Without the following tag:

     .mejs-offscreen{
         right: -10000px;
         left: auto;
     }

 the video-player will also create a very long horizontal scroll bar.
 Please try to remove it from the page and see for yourself.

 Thank you for the great platform, Wordpress. I love it!
