--- Comment #4 from kipod <[email protected]> ---
specifically for hebrew, we would want something that depends on the type of
"thing" that appears immediately after the "and". 

in hebrew, "and" is not a separate word, but rather a prefix attached to the
word (so if the space between the "and" and the next token is in the code, e.g.
in time/date format, we'll need to address this too).

the desired replacement in hebrew is the character "HEBREW LETTER VAV" (U+05D5,
" ו "), with no space between it and the next word. 

HOWEVER, if the next word is a number (as in "10 minutes and 13 seconds"), then
there should be a dash after the ו, since numbers are not hebrew words: (not
sure if the following will appear correctly, because this page's direction is
ltr. i attached invisible rtl direction markers, so hopefully it will work):
"and 50" should be " ‏ו-50‏ " (and not " ‏ו‏50 " or "  ‏ו 50‏ ").

if what appears after the "and" is a word, no space or dash should appear:
"minute" in hebrew is " דקה ". "and 1 minute" should be " ודקה ".

peace.
