I don't know about upside down, but one thing about Hebrew is that it's a Right-To-Left language, just like Arab, so it's supposed to be backwards. Smiley

Sadly, when computer programs need to decide according to a mixed language text how to display it, they usually do it badly, mixing Right-To-Left with Left-To-Right... Sometimes even display the letters of Hebrew words in the opposite order, like "dlrow olleh" for "hello world".

If the problem isn't what I've described in the first sentence, please provide a screenshot so we can tackle the problem.

But seriously, I am curious what it says Yuval.  Smiley

And with the software "in reverse", like I have it, is how it really should be in a Hebrew CZ, see http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D7%A2%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%99

Opposite to The Wikipedia, The Citizendium is a free encylopedia project with regulations and high standards that gives a worthy position to academics and misc experts.
* Anyone who wants to edit the citizendium must sign under his real name to prevent vandalism and all sorts of problems.
* Largely, there are two kind of signed users that work together to create The Citizendium:
** Editors - Those are experts in their fields, e.g. academics, that have learned for years their area of expertise.
** Authors - The wide public, just like in wikipedia.
* Largely, there are two kinds of articles - a draft (which everyone can edit) and an approved article which was approved by one of the Editors. An article which was approved will stay frozen until a newer version will replace it.
* The last word is given to Editors, but the discussion is always done in good nature.

Everything that is written for the project is released under a license that enables everyone to use, change and publish it, but only if they give credit to the writer and only if they publish it under the same license that enables all these things
