I am not really sure what you have going on, but your current code does not make any sense to me. Can you show me an example of the site? What are you looping through? Pages?

There are better ways I think you could do this, but here it what you are trying to do should look like

<?php
foreach($languages as $language) { // loop through $languages
   if($language->title == 'hebrew') {  // Now that you have $language, check if its title is == hebrew
      echo "<body style='direction:rtl;'>"; // if it is, assign it a style
      } else {
      echo "<body>";  // if not, echo body with no style. 
   }
}
?>

Glad you got it working. I should have re-read your post better paying attention to "user". I also should have realized I was in the Multi-Language Support section. I am glad apeisa picked up my slack and pointed you in the right direction.

I recently had to deal with this too. I ended up creating a checkbox field called "rtl" and added it to the "language" template. Now you can easily add a class or hardcode like:

<?php if ($user->language->rtl) echo "style='direction:rtl;'"; ?>

If you add another language which needs RTL you can just check the "rtl" field and don't have to change the code.
