Before I describe the problem, allow me to propose a solution: Allow the editor and preview screen languages for posts and pages to change language when you switch the language of the page or post you are editing.
This may be difficult to replicate if you don't know and RtL language, but I'll try and describe the issue as best I can. When you have the management panel/admin screen in a Left to Right language, such as English or Japanese, the editor for pages and posts is also Left to Right - regardless of the language of the page. So when you have a Right to Left language, such as Hebrew or Farsi, the editor and page preview remain Left to Right, and the text becomes almost impossible to edit as typographical marks and non-RtL text breaks the direction mid-line, lists display the wrong direction, etc. To illustrate this let me provide some screenshots:
English management screen language, editing a page in English:
English management screen language, editing a page in Hebrew:
Hebrew management screen language, editing the same page as above in English:
Hebrew management screen language, editing the same page as above in Hebrew:
Of particular note is where numbers end up in the list. This is not a bug, this is just how RtL and LtR text acts when it's in an LtR or RtL container that is the opposite direction of the text. Luckily in this case, if we change the language of the management/admin panel before editing the page it's usable; so what I'm requesting here is only a convenience, but if we could actually change the editor and preview languages when we changed the language we were editing it would be handy.
