Incomplete means that the bug needs more information from the submitter,
not that the fix is incomplete. :-)
Yes, this is autogenerated by scrape-localechooser.
bzr branches are always helpful, but in this case it's OK, I have it
covered. Thanks for the check!

** Branch linked:
I tested the daily lucid build and Hebrew is displayed fine in the boot
menu but the language name (which appears in the list of languages to
pick from) is reversed. in previous versions is was labeled as Hebrew
but now its labeled as תירבע again which means Hebrew written
backwards.
This was
In the file langnames.inc , line 25 is :

We should change it to תירבע (reverse the word).
Should I create a bzr branch for such a tiny fix?
is this file auto-generated somewhere?

[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove Safe graphics mode message, which is no longer used.
* Add nomodeset to Other options menu.
* Update language names from localechooser
* Are you sure that this works as well for Arabic as it does for
Hebrew? I don't read or write either language, but I've worked with
people who do, and I'm told that Arabic script needs a shaping
algorithm to apply connections between letters. Without shaping, my
understanding is that
IMHO it's probably worth making sure the text is right-way-round as a first
step,
even if the shaping still needs to be implemented.
The proposed patch will fix Arabic text direction but with no char
shaping (as can be seen in the attached screenshot in which I enabled
Arabic again).

hi,
1. I Committed a branch called hebrew-fix using bzr in my own user
branches. I could not commit it under ubuntu-core-dev. I guess I don't
have the permissions to do so:
$ bzr push
sftp://shlomis...@bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/hebrew-fix
bzr: ERROR: Permission
This looks pretty nice, and I'm minded to apply something similar.
Thanks! A few comments, though:
* Could you 'bzr branch
lp:~ubuntu-core-dev/gfxboot-theme-ubuntu/mainline bidi' (or whatever
branch name you choose), commit your changes there, push them to a
branch on Launchpad, and
IMO, Bidi algorithm implementation is not required here because we have
no need to read Hebrew/Arabic user input in the boot loader. We just
have to display the text in a readable manner. For this, all we have to
do is reverse the text according to the bidi algorithm and display it
visually. This
As you can see in the attached image, Hebrew text is displayed
correctly. I guess some string are still in English because new
translation havn't been fully exported yet.

* Rebuild font based on debian-installer 20070308ubuntu39.
* Filter out Hebrew, since gfxboot has no right-to-left text support
(LP: #212491).
* Don't show
It'll just say Hebrew in the boot menu, and switch to proper Hebrew
text once you get into the installer.
At present I unfortunately can't commit to any kind of timeframe, much
though I'd like to, as this is actually rather hard to fix and requires
an unusual combination of skills.

Live CD,
Thanks Colin!
I think that your solution is the best one (e.g It'll just say Hebrew
in the boot menu, and switch to proper Hebrew text once you get into the
installer.).
When the changes will be applied to the iso images?

The show primitive in gfxboot needs to be taught to detect right-to-
left text and display the characters in the right order. The
implementation is in x86 assembly, starting at the prim_show label in
the bincode.asm file in the gfxboot source package; I think the main
bulk of the text display code
Filtered out of gfxboot-theme-ubuntu, so that it'll display in English
for now; we need another upload for a font rebuild anyway, so I'm moving
the milestone for this to 8.04.

Anyone in the Hebrew community who would like to try to add RTL support
to gfxboot is very welcome.
In the meantime, milestoning a gfxboot-theme-ubuntu task for 8.04.1, as
we will probably just have to disable the Hebrew translation (as
Mandriva did).

Colin: Can you give us some directions on how we can fix this bug?
It will be best if you will guide us what to do.

Same happened with me.
I thinks that it is very important to solve this bug, because this is the first
impression of Ubuntu that the Hebrew users see in Ubuntu, and we don't want
them to think that this system has a lot of bugs because it has a simple
problem in showing Hebrew text in the right
