Which is why we turn down jobs that have both English and Hebrew in them. Far, far too much brain-damage. I try really hard not to think about individual pages in which we're supposed to have both, or, yet more fun, facing pages with, say, English (l-to-r) on the verso and Hebrew (r-to-l) on the verso. Thanks, but...no thanks. Certainly not without charging the bloody earth. The conversion house that took that job were idiots if they didn't know upfront that Hebrew was going to be a problem for a professionally-produced book. And let's not forget those page flips!

(This isn't to say we don't do single-language r-to-left; we do. But mixing them up? Oish).
