I just noticed, getUILanguage() as opposed to getMessage("@@ui_locale") returns
the locale with dashes instead of underscores already. So the replacement is
redundant here.

     Object.defineProperty(this, "appLocale", {value: locale, enumerable: true});
     return this.appLocale;
   },
+  get readingDirection()
+  {
+    let direction = ext.i18n.getMessage("@@bidi_dir");
+    if (!direction)
+      // This fallback is only necessary for Microsoft Edge
+      direction = /^(?:ar|fa|he|ug|ur)\b/.test(this.appLocale) ? "rtl" : "ltr";
+    Object.defineProperty(
+      this,
+      "readingDirection",
+      {value: direction, enumerable: true});
+    return this.readingDirection;
+  },
   generateChecksum(lines)
   {
     // We cannot calculate MD5 checksums yet :-(
     return null;
   },
   checkLocalePrefixMatch(prefixes)
   {
     if (!prefixes)
       return null;
