Comment 29 for bug 263822

Another solution I heard was:
Patching the code so Hebrew, Arabic and Persian won't compile for CLI only
apps
The problem begins when we want a translation for a hybrid app that has both
GUI and CLI

In Hebrew most of the hybrid apps are translated correctly besides the
strings that appear on both CLI and GUI
wget for example shouldn't be translated to any semitic language at all
because it only has CLI, adding a small patch to the Ubuntu code repository
will ignore the Hebrew/Arabic/Persian translation during the compilation
process, this is not the best suggestion if we still insist on using mlterm

The deal with mlterm is that I personally think it should be included by
default uppon the installation of any RTL language but I think it would be a
waste of time not to include the non-gregorian calendar, @Usama - this is
negotiablt of course but we should really think if we want to go through all
this twice...

mlterm is great, not doubt but the fact that it is not versatile enough
(like gnome-terminal with vte) makes it a little hard to use, if the mlterm
developer wants some money for improving this app maybe we should all try
and raise funds but if it's not about money I guess we have a problem...

I would love to hear your comments and I hope I didn't repeat anything said
earlier in the discussion

Kind regards,
