"If the mouse-cursor hits a wikilink, a small box opens near the link and shows the lemma the link leads to. There is a problem with interwikilinks in languages written from right to left (Hebrew, Arab), if the lemma of the aim ends with a bracket. The closing bracket at the end is displayed as opening bracket in the beginning. Example: The German lemma ''[http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zug_%28Eisenbahn%29 Zug (Eisenbahn)]'' is displayed in Arab [http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/قطار] or Hebrew [http://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/רכבת] wikipedia in the box as ''(Zug (Eisenbahn'' ."

if not a browser bug, it is a general mediawiki issue. Nothing the wikidata team can fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 36635 ***
