How to display BG notation in right to left languages

As i am preparing the translation in XG I came across a problem when displaying moves in Arabic or Hebrew.

Let's assume 'bar' displays as "RAB" in a language and 'off' as "FFO"

Here are a few example

  • 13/10 9/5*
  • bar/24 24/22
  • 5/4 4/off

    If I display these string in a RTL control it shows

  • *9/5 13/10
  • 24/22 24/RAB
  • FFO/4 5/4

    it seems to me it should display as (i underlined the differences)

  • *5/9 10/13
  • 22/24 24/RAB
  • FFO/4 4/5

    Can someone confirm that this last form is the proper one and should the "/" be used (it seems the Bidirectional display is confused by that and think it's a fraction) or should it be replaced by a "\"

    Thanks
