I did some tests in Windows 7. cmd, ipconfig and net are translated to
French but not to Russian (LTR), Japanese (LTR) or Hebrew (RTL). So I
don't know if it would support the output of RTL strings from console
applications such as usage or error messages. If anyone knows of an
application I could test.

Yes. It's called "type". Take a Hebrew text stored in a Windows
1255 encoded file, and "type file", see what happens. The order,
