Usama, i'm not even talking about RTL issues, i'm taking about the the fact
translating CLI strings is just useless. if you you get logs of program in
Hebrew, you won't be able to help, but if it's in Engish, it doesn't matter
what is your local language, you'll be able to help.
I believe that what shpuld be fixed is not the supporting of RTL in the
terminal, but something much bigger.
