** Description changed:

  This problem is a known problem with Hebrew and there has been many
  attempts in the past to fix it and most of them were complete failures
  
  My guess is that this is a kernel related bug
  
  All CLI apps suffer from this problem in Ubuntu (And Debian and all
  other ditros)
  
  I recommend cancelling the LC_MESSAGES=he_IL.UTF-8 for CLI apps while
  using the Hebrew locale
  
  Maybe creating some sort of a environmental variable which only affects
  CLI apps
  
  This is a very annoying bug causing a lot of frustration for the Hebrew
  Ubuntu users worldwide and also other distros
  
  One of the many attempts that were made are the fribidi package but the
  rendering is not perfect and each program contains a rendering engine of
  their own, this way there is a double fix and the text is flipped twice
  and then the problem reoccurs
  
  My suggestion to remove using an environmental variable which is only
  CLI related is the best method I could think of...
  
  Best Regards,
  Yaron Shahrabani
