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?

I may have mentioned this before, but I'll state it again:
Wikimedia Israel has set aside funds (on the order of $3000) to support development of OpenZIM. We hope to encourage work on the specific issues that still hamper successful deployment of right-to-left Wikipedia (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Yiddish), and I was hoping to discuss the specifics with Manuel and whoever else will be attending the upcoming conference in Berlin.
