Comment 4 for bug 891371

קח את אחת התוכנות שלך ותשנה לה את השם ל־أنا أحب إسرائيل (אני אוהב את ישראל)
ותראה האם הבאג קורה, כך תזכה למספר מצוות במקביל:
1. הפצת את אהבתך לישראל.
2. עצבנת מספר שונאי ישראל.
3. עזרת לקהילת הקוד הפתוח.

בקיצור, צעד מומלץ ☺

Title:
  app names strings in foreign language that is RTL are reversed

Status in “slingshot” package in Ubuntu:
 Confirmed

Bug description:
  I upgraded Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.04, and then installed elementary-
  desktop from the oneiric ppa. I choose pantheon in the startup screen.

 After launch I clicked the 'Apps' link and Slingshot showed up.

 In the attached screenshot you can see the result. Some app names are
 in English, and they are shown correctly. Some app names are in Hebrew
 - but they are shown reversed. Hebrew is an RTL language which means
 the words are written from right to left. Howeverr, the Hebrew app
 names in the screenshot are printed left to right - that means they
 are reversed.

 Imagine you would write the word "elementary" reversed it would look
 like that: "yratnemele" - that's how the Hebrew words show up.

 I guess the same issue would happen with any other RTL language such
 as Arabic.
