Hi,

Since the VTE does not support RLT languages, wouldn't it be possible to really
do so and say 'I do not support this locale, falling back to standard locale
"C"' ?
I agree, it is not a fix at all, but at least users would have readable english
instead of unreadable RTL language.

The counterpart would be that all application launched from the VTE will
inherit from this locale.

what's your opinion ?

I think this is the best thing to do for now since the upstream are not going to fix it any time soon
