Here, part of the piece title is written in parentheses in the original. When writing in Arabic, the three words in parentheses get placed at the (left) end of the title once typing the parentheses. That's probably due to the problem that these are recognised as Latin characters. Several attempts to do a work around failed. Is there any way to fix this?

As I understand it, only one language can currently be specified per title in the entry. If a title consists of different languages, this becomes difficult. Does the MEI-XML have an intended markup for this? If so, what would it look like correctly? Can you also outline an expected representation in HTML?

Wegen der Linlsläufigkeit des Arabischen müssten die Klammern entsprechend rechts stehen. Innerhalb der Klammer ist die Wortfolge korrekt, auch von den zwei Wörtern außerhalb der Klammer. Schreibe ich alle Wörter im Arabischen ohne Klammern, ist auch deren Reihenfolge korrekt. Es ist wohl das generelle Problem von RTL-Schriften in XML.
