I have to admit that I currently have no idea where
there are problems
with LTR - I always thought of ZIM just being a container - it doesn't
process the data you put into it. SO if you put in LTR text you will get
out LTR text again.
I though the same thing ;)
What we would need though is a hebrew/arab/yiddish...
stemmer for the
fulltext search index creation and of course support on the reader
application. But this is Kiwix (which as far as I know supports LTR
because it was used by MoulinWiki) or the webbrowser when using
zimreader.
I have ZIM files in Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi and as far as I know they are
no specific issues related to these languages in Kiwix nor in the zimlib. Asaf, if
you have such bugs, the best is to open a ticket in the appropriate bug tracker:
http://bugzilla.openzim.org/Main_Page or
http://bugs.kiwix.org
About the stemming, Xapian (used by Kiwix) has no solution for these languages... this
would
be a pretty good idea to have a grant for that (at least one language).

PS: Asaf, what about my Invitation to meet Reg from Moulinwiki in Tel-Aviv?
