for example, you may have parts of the subtites in one language
(hebrew, arabic) and other parts in another (say english). some may
need flipping some not and you have to find out wich and how to
"intermix" them. so its not just flipping everything. more over,
flipping is only one part of full multi-lingual support. some
languages like arabic require rather more transformation of the input
in order to be displayed properly.
