Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
Dear friends,
Sentences which are supposed to be printed in right-to-left order in the terminal like Hebrew, Farsi and Arabic are printed left-to-right.
I think that this makes the terminal unusable for RTL language users and I think that it gives a very unprofessional impression to the system. It even reminds me of the days when the WWW began to be widely adopted in Israel and Hebrew pages in reverse were a common problem which people to mess around with a lot to get working.
Can there be a simple fix for this, or does this need more serious rewriting of code?
In any case, as impossible to fix as it might seem, I think that this bug deserves to be confirmed and stay open until it is resolved or worked around one way or another.
BTW, I know that this isn't specific to gnome-terminal. I think that this happens in a deeper level so please change it properly.
Many blessings.

This bug seems totally unrelated to https:/
Should the duplicate status be removed?
