OK, the whole LTR vs RTL thing is getting confusing here ;-)

The array should be sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, sat. The corresponding 
full names that we have are:

["یکشنبه", "دوشنبه", "سه‌شنبه", "چهارشنبه", "پنج‌شنبه", "جمعه", "شنبه"]

so I need to add "ش" but the only question is which end I add it at?

You can see it in context at vendor/plugins/rails-i18n/locale/fa.yml in 
the rails port code.

There should be an html.dir key - it exists in the en version...
