RTL languages could be a bit of trouble, but if I can detect when the
current locale is RTL, I could probably just swap out the stylesheet
to another one with the proper formatting.

Another thing I am going to look into is utilizing the language option
of the last.fm api. It allows a language to be specified for some of
its calls, so the fetched content could be localized too.
