I get this on my vim:
but the arabic translation is showing all messed up (in reverse orderlike dessem pu)
it should instead show like this (this is rendered in source tree:)
How to I make this work? (note: I'm using the terminal version of mac:

. Whenever you want to read or edit the Arabic-script part you just flip the whole text to rtl, including the Latin-script parts. I actually think this is better than a bidi solution since delimitiers and punctuation always maintain their logical order.map <C-g> :set rightleft<CR> map <C-h> :set norightleft<CR>
