What I would like to do it write in both a RTL language and a LTR language: (second line is a translation of the first) Hello, world! שלום, עולם!

However, the exclamation mark in the second line does not come at the end of the sentence.

This is not good: https://image.ibb.co/b5dC7b/Screenshot_20171102_083647.png This is good https://image.ibb.co/kAdjLw/Screenshot_20171102_083825.png

Changing the interface language didn't seem to help: https://image.ibb.co/k2gtDG/Screenshot_20171102_084103.png

In Chrome, if you select the second line, right click -> Writing Direction -> Right to Left, it seems to do what you want. Does that help?

Yes, that works. (I can start using this more). As a suggestion maybe you should add the writing direction to the top options. I would not have thought to check the right click menu for anything other than cut/copy/paste, spell check and other less important things.
