Some languages like Persian and Arabic are right-to-left. This is the current behavior of https://drm.info (Its wrong):

With this chages, it become this (Its true):

This changes does not affect LTR texts (I didn't find any difference. The direction of body only reversed when text (or more accurate, the H1 content) is RTL).

Please merge this.
Thanks!

Thank you. Just to confirm: is this only wrong on drm.info or also on fsfe.org or pdfreaders.org?

I checked pdfreaders.org with its Arabic translation. Its become completely RTL (a dir="rtl" added to <html> automaticly), and don't have any problem. (I hope this do not happen for drm.info. Because its header is not localisable, and its always LTR. Just the <div id="body"> should become RTL).
fsfe.org has problem.
