might be related to #58 nybc208621 says in the publisher-field: s.l. perhaps that is anyways a case that should not be fiddled with by users. it should probably say s.l. : s.n. I tried to correct s.l. into London, in Hebrew characters. Only, apparently the field is set as left to right because of the s.l. ? the Hebrew letters wrote themselves from left to right, no matter if I used the on-screen-keyboard, or my own laptop-keyboard, See screenshot for the on-screen. london - s l

No, the field is set "left-to-right" by default, it has nothing to do with the existing content.

What we really need here is two separate fields, just like for Title and Author: one containing Latin characters (either transcription or the Latin-character original of the publisher's name), and one containing Hebrew characters. I'll bring this up with the Yiddish Book Center.
