So Swordfish uses Unicode bidi characters control for hints (like Trados and Lionbridge's editors). Sounds fine to me.
One follow up questions then (and not just for Rodolfo):
When extracting a text like this:
<p>The title says "<span dir="rtl">פעילות הבינאום, W3C</span>" in Hebrew.</p>
Where the "W3C, " part should be on the left side of the quoted text when editing/rendering properly. As shown in the screenshot attached.
How does Swordfish (or other tools) stores the original HTML codes and markup the text?
Do they store the <span> as like any other elements and just add U+202B and U+202C to the text? Something like this:
<source> The title says "<g id="1">[U+202B]פעילות הבינאום, W3C[U+202C]</g>" in Hebrew.</span>
Cheers,
