Google and Right to left languages

strange way of displaying/handling queries

[gaouzief]

Hello,

i have a site which language is Arabic (right to left) and i use Google Sitemaps to monitor crawling...

I have noticed a stange thing in the "Top queries" list

queries are displayed like this:

(ArabicWord¦droWcibarA)?! basicly the word spelled left to right and right to left, is this the way Goggle handles RTL languages?!?

this is really strange and very interesting for Hebrew and Arabic

Even Stranger:

searhing for

(Word¦droW) produces the same result as Word

searching for droW alone produces different results of pages containing Word but displayed the other way around in Search results...

no one here using Hebrew or arabic on their pages?
