OK.

In this case I suggest to use the translation "URL". Otherwise you will
always stumble about some untranslated messages and have to check the
PO file all the time to ensure that no new strings were introduced which
really need to be translated.

I tried to say that the strings in search.*.po are currently not really
useful as Debian's website hasn't a working search machine since some
years (I think I wrote you in the past that this PO file is not the most
important one and can be skipped :-)). I did not say that I disabled the
use of your Hebrew file search.he.po.

OK, even I commit from time to time files containing errors. But since
PO files have a simple syntax and msgfmt is able to check this (using
option -c) I suggest to use this feature if possible.

The first step is to get the pure translation of this page committed.
Adjustments to fit your needs are of course always possible. It's also
preferred if necessary changes are implemented in a general way so that
also other RTL translations profit from it.
Nevertheless it would be a great help if you could provide a patch/hint
how to fix it in CSS, ...

Please do not quote useless stuff :-)
PS: There is no need to CC: me, I'm subscribed. Not CC:ing people if not
explicitely requested is the suggested behaviour in Debian.
