They are well displayed in Konsole and MLterm but not in gnome-terminal (see
bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/vte/+bug/263822)

Well, most of us use gnome-terminal on a daily basis, and some apps still
display a small vte inside them when you click Advanced for example (the
Ubuntu installation is a good example in this case and the Hebrew there is
reversed, I checked that).

I don't want to cope this change on Arabic and Persian but they suffer from
the same problem as well, you can see for your self in the bug report I
added earlier.

I didn't say anything about other languages.

I only asked to remove he from LINGUAS, that's it...

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 in Hebrew and I can still see the translations so
apparently it wasn't fixed or the fix did not make it into Ubuntu.
