Caveat regarding installation on an RTL (Hebrew) setup:
Might even be room to say that this plugin is “too” correct/strict in changing the admin language to native English! Indeed, the dashboard is transformed to “pure” English, with LTR directionality, just as if the original English version was installed.
The only “problem” is (without any fault of this plugin!) that the native English dashboard does not display the text directionality button in its visual editor.
Hi Yosi,
Is this the button you are talking about:

If you confirm it, I’ll see if I can make it show up if we detect a RTL setup when using this plugin.
Indeed, that is the button.
There are also a few other plugins that seek to accomplish more-or-less the same thing (not all of them in the official Plugin Directory), such as this and this.
However, all of them suffer from the same problem. For some reason, in WordPress v3.8.1, the icon for the RTL button is not visible (but the button still works).
Personally, as much as I’d be happy to see you fix this RTL problem, the “purist” in me thinks that your plugin should remain as-is, because it successfully forces the dashboard into its native English state. The fact that this native state is not optimal for those RTL folks who nevertheless desire an English dashboard — is not really your problem.
Either the 3 button-fixing plugins should be brought up to date for v3.8.1, or — better yet — the WordPress core should be modified.
