Public bug reported:

At the starting prompt to "Try Kubuntu without any change to your
computer"/ "Install Kubuntu" etc. - in the F2 language options, the word
for the Hebrew language option appears as gibberish since the letters
are all back to front.

The problem is that: Hebrew reads right-to-left instead of left-to-
right.

The Hebrew letters currently read (as looking from left-to-right) Ayin-
Vet-Resh-Yod-Tav; but since Hebrew reads from right-to-left this makes
out something sounding something like "tirvi".

The letters should appear (as looking from left-to-right) Tav-Yod-Resh-
Vet-Ayin - which, correctly being read from right-to-left, would spell
out the Hebrew word for Hebrew "ivrit".

The attachment (if you want to see what I mean) is from the screen shot
of Kubuntu 8.04 Alpha KDE4
(http://www.thecodingstudio.com/opensource/linux/screenshots/index.php?linux_distribution_sm=Kubuntu%208.04%20Alpha%20KDE4)
