I think we agree that the different language names wasn't intended for
this. I think we also agree that doing so presents difficulties. We just
disagree as to if this is still a right thing to do.

I was specifically referring to bidi languages. I was kinda supposing
that there are translations to Hebrew. According to
http://people.ubuntu.com/~dpm/ubuntu-10.10-translation-stats.html, 80%
of Ubuntu 10.10 is translated to Hebrew.

But also the translations themselves take some time to make their ways
to distros and older translations will still be available if needed.

I think translation-i18n has no moderator and non-member posts are
automatically delivered to /dev/null ...
RTL continues creating problems despite Unicode. At least no modern
language uses boustropedon
