I voice my opinion with Christian as well. This is much more of an
issue with RTL languages, It makes it very easy to make mistakes. Many
translators end up getting this wrong because you have a bit of text
going RTL and a bit of text going LTR and so on. It's a chore to make
sure that it ends up displaying correctly.
