I've bought an adapter for watching movies and tv shows from my smartphone (galaxy s3) to the big screen tv.
For some reason, all of the video player apps I've tried so far have problems with showing Hebrew subtitles: either they become gibberish, or they have punctuations marks being put on the wrong places (for example "." in the beginning of the sentence instead of at the end).
Here's a screenshot of MX-Player app, showing a subtitle :
In Hebrew, the "." should be placed on the left of the sentence since you read from right to left. Same goes with any other mark (such as "?" , "!", "," ,...).
On a PC, it's hard to find any app that has such problems.
Maybe it's because it's an RTL (right to left) language, and Android doesn't support such languages well (on 4.2 i think the situation has changed though).
Anyway, is there anything one can do about this? Does it require a special video player to shows Hebrew subtitles well?
