The language being Hebrew, which is generally written in a RTL script, we can guess that the required direction is RTL. If there are such Latin transcriptions within Hebrew-script text, they should be treated just like actual English, French or Greek phrases included within a generally Hebrew text. > > There could be a problem if all the Hebrew content is written as Latin transcription.
