Users of the Hebrew Wikipedia get confused with the current situation. Very
confused. Try editing a Hebrew Wikipedia article and think what confuses you
more - the RTL-ness or the possibility that the <ref> tag would be different.

Actually, people rarely want to edit projects in languages other than their
own. Those that are bold enough to edit in Hebrew will also be clever enough to
understand that <ref> is <הערה>.

(I am saying "Hebrew" just because it's my home wiki; it's a drop in the bucket
compared to Arabic, Farsi and Urdu.)

They can use the same localization files.
