Description Zayed Al-Saidi 2008-08-31 10:02:20 UTC 
Version:           Version 2.1 (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

when I try to list Arabic files using konsole, it list is in unreadable way. See the attached screenshot.

The correct way is this: 

zayed@zayed-laptop:/home/home$ ls
Examples  الصور  الفيديو  القوالب  المستندات  الموسيقى  سطح المكتب  عام

How to reproduce:
1- Create file with name 'اختبار ' using dolphin. 
2- try to list it using konsole, it will display like this: رابتخا
3- The correct way is اختبار

It seems that konsole stars to display the word from left to right latter by latter.

Today I discover that there is an option for bi-directional languages. So the problem is solved :) .
