As I already mentioned to Lior in a private message, I think that the Hebrew translations should be kept: -first, there may be some RTL console system in the future (have you once tried bicon from the Arabeyes people...it's not packaged but should be easy to compile) -second, if APT (or dpkg, or aptitude...) is used in a RTL-aware terminal in X, the display should be correct. If it is not, the bug should be fixed.... Better support for RTL languages is one of the keeys of a good i18n. We just shouldn't give up translations because programs are flawed... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
