 Fixed.

 > 2) I agree that this bug fixes #13074 as well. If you have that fix in
 the same commit (which is fine for me) please give a hint in the commit
 message as well. This makes it a lot easier for people doing the release
 to get the changelog right (they can then just look for bug numbers with
 |git log|)

 Good idea. I've added a mention of #13704.

 > I tested a while the ar version and it behaves weird. (See attachment)
 Not sure if that is something we can/should fix, though. I guess there is
 an RTL/LTR mixup causing this due to yet untranslated strings?

 Yes, it's partly due to untranslated strings. The circuit diagram should
 turn around if everything is translated. You're right that the parentheses
 are misbehaving, though, so I've added a fix for those.


 Here is the new patch:

 Here is the corrected circuit display in English, Arabic, and Farsi:
