No need to attach a screenshot
this one is very simple
While using Hebrew translated CLI apps (Most of them are done by Eli
Zaretsky) the text is rendered from left to right instead of right to left

What Eli did is is a little trick to bypass this bug by translating the
entire app backwards

Example:
אובונטו
He wrote as
וטנובוא
and this way they are all displayed pretty fine

Same as for aptitude, only that aptitude was translated normally so that all
of 7.10 users have seen (while installing)
...םינותנ סיסב ארוק (...esabataD gnidaeR)
instead of
קורא בסיס נתונים... (Reading Databse...)

Right at that point we decided to revert the changes done to the po and this
way the user did not encounter any Hebrew while using aptitude but at least
there was some readable text on the screen
Our decision to revert the po file to the original English only affected
8.04 users and they can now use apt-get with no Hebrew but with readable
English which is the best thing we can offer right now...

I would love to answer further questions about the problem
