Description
In gnome-clocks we had a problem with time format in RTL (like Hebrew) - the time was reverse (see bug #703569, bug #698942).
This problem was fixed by replacing the ":" with ratio, space with thin-space and prepend LTR marker to force direction. (from the comment in the code[1])
As translator, I see the same problem almost everywhere (every app with time format), like gnome-control-center, gnome-shell, geary, california, gnome-calendar and so on. Sometimes the problem just gone, sometimes I played with the strings in the .po files, but I think translator dosn't needs to deal with this.
I really wants to see this pushed for 3.16, I think it kinds of blocker for gnome-shell (bug 745111).
