Kevin Harwell commented on ASTERISK-26473:
------------------------------------------

If not (going to submit a patch) can you describe more the process to replicate this problem and maybe show some sample output of the problem (screenshot maybe)? For instance, based on your description I installed the Hebrew locale on my system and then compiled using:
{noformat}
LC_ALL==he_IL.utf8 make gmenuselect
{noformat}
Is that all that is required?

> GTK supports locales that have a major right-to-left directionality (Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi and such). When such a locale is installed as is in effect (see below) the layout of gmenuselect is quite messed up. usable, but not easy to understand.
> workarounds: The directionality of a GTK application is set from the LC_MESSAGES component of the locale. Hence, depending on your LANG/LC_*/LC_ALL/LANGUAGES (see the output of locale) you can override it with either:
> {code}
> LANG=C            make gmenuselect
> LC_LOCALE=C make gmenuselect
> LC_ALL=C        make gmenuselect
> {code}
