The number of websites that have some amount of logical CSS is probably much higher than the number of websites whose RTL layouts have been tested and optimized.

Maybe it would be useful if there was a standard way for a web page to declare that it supports multiple text directionalities. Something like

<meta name="dir" content="ltr rtl">

Then Google Translate could confirm that RTL is supported and update the dir attribute.
