I think you got it right but I would like to note (regarding 2) that if a console program (with existing RTL translation) like apt-get, for example, is used and the locale env vars are set to some RTL language (by default) then the program output is unreadable (reversed) and I guess this is the main motivation for people wishing to include MLTerm. Possible solutions: * Don't translate console applications. * echo "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" >> ~/.bashrc A third use case would be: 3. Some programs embed Terminal emulators (like Ubuntu's good'ol Update Manager, used to display apt installation progress in a console) and this issue is not resolved by using MLTerm since it's not embeddable like vte is. -- [MIR] mlterm https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/603022 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
