Description Mickey Gee 2007-05-14 22:26:31 UTC

Not sure which screen this is. Issue found by translators testing Hebrew version of SlimServer. Using either May 12 or May 13 2007 version.

Michael H suggested deferring to post-6.5.2. Reassign to Michael H.

Screenshot appended with issue circled.

Thanks, great link. I'll have to do some testing. It's probably that <bdo> element I'll have to test.

Moving post 7.0 - SC7 doesn't feature any update Hebrew localization

Comment 6 Michael Herger 2008-11-06 07:57:55 UTC

We'll review the various UIs again once HE is officially supported.
