Also the Hebrew version is displayed incorrectly; I think because
browsers assume that it is ltr text instead of rtl, even with explicitly including the Unicode rtl sign, so if you have a chance to add a dir tag to be translated, it would be helpful.

Is it true that a similar rtl/ltr confusion resulted in Christians calling the Hebrew god "Yahweh" when it should have been "Heveheya" (He Vau He Yod)?
