Bug Description
* Impact
Ubuntu 20.10, normal gnome session.
After recent updates, using right-to-left environment, such as Hebrew, the clock on top of the screen shows the time in reverse.
For example, instead of showing 17:59,it shows 59:17.

Hello,
I have installed gnome-clocks and got this:
https:/ /commons. wikimedia. org/wiki/ File:RTL_ bug_in_ gnome.png
How to reproduce:
1) choose a hebrew locale in the gnome lang setting /commons. wikimedia. org/wiki/ File:RTL_ bug_in_ gnome.png
2) install gnome-clocks
3) create a new world clock
4) see if it looks like: https:/
and a bonus:
order of cityname and country are also wrong.
