Bug Description

Month names appear in hebrew, after clean install.

The problem is that the names are printed reveresed:
This is what is printed in the terminal:

לוי

When copy and past a line from the terminal to the browser the Hebrew text appears correctly:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 יול 19 23:49 rsyslog.d/
d

The problem seems like a rendering problem in the terminal

Noone knows how to do BiDi in terminal emulators. Some terminal emulators (e.g. konsole) apply some magic which fixes certain things while breaks others, gnome-terminal is not one of them.

See e.g. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321490.
