Wrong formattring in RTL language

[mishatron]

Let we have strings in English (LTR) and Hebrew (RTL)

String s = "Well done %s!";
 String t = "! %s כל הכבוד";

So when I use smth like
Text(sprintf(s,[userName]));
everything is correct. But when
Text(sprintf(t,[userName]));

I got "כל הכבוד USER_NAME!". It should be "!USER_NAME כל הכבוד"
Maybe it is related to flutter, maybe to library

Hi @mishatron ,
So, this might be a flutter thing, but I'm not 100% sure since I don't have any experience with RTL languages.

I tried writing a test to reproduce this:

  test("|! %s כל הכבוד| hello",
      () => expect(sprintf(t, ["hello"]), "! hello כל הכבוד"));

and it passes. and I also just printed the result, which seems to work:

String t = "! %s כל הכבוד";
  print(sprintf(t, ["hello"]));
// ! hello כל הכבוד

However, it might work on my machine because it's set to LTR, and the test might fail if I changed locale?
Do you know how I could reproduce it as a test in travis ci? (Would I need to set a locale environment variable?

Firstly locale is important, I tested on the emulator so for me it was not a problem. but I also have thoughts that this issue is connected to flutter sdk (I learned code of library and it is ok), because some strings formatted correctly, some not. so, who knows...
