I tend to think that telling computers from humans has gotten to be too difficult a problem, if this is the sample text they expect a human to translate.
I just discovered, it's incredibly difficult to paste a gimmel from the browser, and then type something else, because the something else wants to go to the left. Then when the something else is roman alphabet, it gets all screwed up about where to put the cursor.
You just discovered one of the joys inherent in editing things like our wedding program (eventually LaTeXified, though even that had its issues along the way) and our Passover haggadah (not yet done in LaTeX) in OpenOffice!
damn editors that don't know how to mix left-to-right and right-to-left languages.
