As is Arabic.
We definitely need someone coding the BIDI support in the appropriate
place. Probably newt or bogl-bterm or whatever.
This is why Arabic and Hebrew entries have been left in beta3 : just
have everyone see that we're currently missing something.
Unfortunately, it seems that people knowing what is to be done AND
ready to do what is to be done AND motivated enough for doing what is
to be done simply do not exist...:-(
Some tell us : support is built into GTK things, blah blah.....But we
DON'T HAVE a GTK interface nor will have one in a near future.
If nothing happens until release, these entries will be commented out
and the good work of Arabic and Hebrew translators will simply become
useless.
