Hello everyone
I would like to ask if anyone has any experience with translation of grub to
RTL language
The thing is that if the app lacks of RTL capability we should consider
providing grub in English only for Hebrew users (also Arabic and Persian in
that case)
If nobody is familiar with that issue I will need some help with checking
this out myself, what should I do?
Kind regards,
Yaron Shahrabani

I implemented RTL support for grub. It's now in experimental branch. And
we need a translation to an RTL language to test the code.
Currently it supports bidi and shaping but not ligatures (they are
tricky). It's enough for Hebrew and Thaana and almost enough for Arabic.
Experimental branch is available at
http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/grub/branches/experimental/. Just grab it,
compile and then do the translation and grub should be to put glyphs in
right order. If it doesn't, it's a bug, please report.
Be sure to use gfxterm (insmod vbe; loadfont /unifont.pf2) because VGA
doesn't support any non-ASCII characters.

I got into some building problems
I installed flex and bison becuase I didn't have them and tried to build
using "make"
I got the following error:
make: *** No rule to make target `grub_script.tab.h', needed by
`all-local'. Stop.
There were some warning before but I guess they weren't so critical
Do you have any idea what I should do next?
I branched the 1603 revision from savannah

I've just successfully compiled it. Procedure is:
Cleaning:
bzr clean-tree --ignored
bzr clean-tree
Building:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Installing:
sudo make install
sudo grub-install /dev/sda
Be sure to have a LiveCD under the hand when booting experimental grub.
If it still fails can you tell your autotools versions and post complete
build log?

I thought It would be a bit easier
The problem is that I can't run a virtual machine on my junk so i'm a little
stuck
I'll check with other Hebrew community members and I'm terribly sorry for
the dealy I caused

Have you tried qemu? I haven't seen a single machine where qemu wouldn't
run. In order to use grub with qemu the easiest way is to:
./grub-mkrescue --output=grub.iso --override-directory=. <extra directories>
qemu -cdrom grub.iso

Vladi, I'm glad to say I checked the 1.98 that ships with Ubuntu and found
out that Hebrew is not supported
I can't update my grub since I don't have a virtual machine and I'm a little
affraid I must say, any suggestions?
