Just a precision, in
arabic and hebrew both text and numbers are written right to
left.
In western languages text
is written left to right and numbers right to left.
You can't tell the value
of the left digit of a number if you havent read how many digit are at his
right.
We solve additions from the right to the
left.

Thank you, but unforunatly, it is not a solution -
Hebrew is not
simple right to left
its a BI-Directional. Then text is written from rtl
the number ltr, what
about the punctuation signs, spaces and etc..
the
bi-di code is very complex
