Better dealing with Hebrew and English in the same sentence - when a user writes sentence in Hebrew or Arabic and in that sentence he writes one or more words in English, the sentence flips, for example: imagine "the boys" and "home" are in Hebrew or Arabic and "runs" in english. CORRECT: The boy RUNS home, INCORRECT: home RUNS the boy.
