I'm aware there are some right-to-left display challenges with Hebrew and would love to hear more details about this and any other problems encountered

original question from @odedsharon :

Should I keep the word “Loomio” or write it in Hebrew (לומיו)?

Hebrew verbs have gender. e.g. Donate for a boy would be “תרום” while for a girl it would be “תרמי”. Is there a policy here?
- use only male-verbs
- use plural male, which is mostly unisex
- use verb-names, instead (i.e. “Donation” instead of “Donate”)

@odedsharon probably leave Loomio in english (it's a made up word, so I'm not sure it will translate well)

The second question is challenging. I think the unisex option probably sounds like the best fit - we're looking to include diversity and make this a safe environment for everyone to participate in. Do you have any female Hebrew speakers who you could check with though ?

very cool to see my work coming alive,
but I have a challenge/bug for you:
Hebrew is right-to-left, meaning that the dot (".") at the end of the sentence should be on the left side of the sentence...
Good luck :-)

We're working on this. The solution for general discussions is almost ready to deploy.

The solution for the front page might might be a second piece of work to prioritize!
