The thing is that console strings might also appear in terminals
(gnome-terminal for example when you load a wine app through it) so
fixing wineconsole might just not do the work so even after this bug
is solved I can't translate CLI apps not to mention that the strings
will still appear in the wrong direction after they are already
translated.

It might sound weird but the Israeli community really doesn't care
about this terminal bug, whoever wants to work with Hebrew in terminal
can simply use MLTerm or Konsole, Arabeyes was once concerned about
this and they developed BiCon, Nice project indeed but it was
neglected few years ago due to lack of interest, I can guess for the
exact same reason.

Done, thanks for the report!

I did dome changes and resubmitted, things will be better this time.

Since I am currently the only translator I want to make things clear
to my successor... I'm just bringing my conventions from GNOME in
here... Wine and GNOME are both translated using the same rules and
methods leaving no translation gaps between these two (in Hebrew).

I do understand what you are saying but this is actually necessary...
