  Yes I mean that. In general, whenever the final string can have both RTL and LTR \
texts, enclosing one of them (non-strong) is a must.

  This is just a fast idea: we have `"%s".arg(part)`, we can just enclose that `%s` \
with the markers to be `"FSI%sPDI".arg(part)`, where `FSI` and `PDI` are real Unicode \
characters.  I had to share my initial thoughts about this, but I have no big \
experience with coding, neither with KI18N code database. I can't work on this on the \
near future, but if no one took this task, I'll try my best implementing it myself \
later.
