This seems like a more complicated problems, as Rockbox doesn't support that functionality yet.
Unfortunately, I am not plan to work on this issue in the near future.

Your comment implies that its not possible at all whilst all  the menus are aligned to the right & and the text direction is RTL too.

Actually, I implemented that feature  ;)

Currently it merely aligns the string to the right. It doesn't parse the string at all. All menu items text are hard coded (in language file), therefore, wherever there was an issue with placement of special characters at the end of string, as is the case with exclamation-marks, it was manually moved to the beginning of the string as a workaround (If I recall correctly). See hebrew.lang.

The text viewer (not editor) should now (r25519) properly support RTL languages. By support I mean properly aligning the text to the right edge of the screen.

This is not fixed yet. I am not going to work on this in the near future  :-\. I hope someone else will.

Its actually better then before, and if i put aside the dot/comma issue, when there's a space char at the end of the line (originally on the display) it still puts the space before the line.

for example:

אחת שתיים שלוש___(___ STANDS FOR THE SPACING CHAR)

thus making the paragraph not whole

אחת שתיים שלוש
אחת שתיים שמונה   
שלוש ארבע חמש
