A patch to make Site Settings do this is in review here: https://crrev.com/c/1113170

Chrome Settings passwords UI should also do this. See https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/resources/settings/passwords_and_forms_page/password_list_item.html?rcl=d8f6e58c00ce34c51ef65ece6797624672b3701c&l=44 for an example. This code is also using <bdo dir="ltr"> tags, which will result in RTL words inside the tag to be written backwards.

Here is a good example to test with, courtesy of mgiuca@:
 - Consider the string “Website %s is down”, where %s is substituted with a web domain.
 - In Hebrew, this string may be translated as:
    - “Website %s הוא למטה”
 - Now if the website URL is “example.קום”, it is substituted like this:
    - “Website example.קום הוא למטה”
    - Wrong!!! Note that the domain (example.קום) has been split by the surrounding text!
 - You need to add an LTR embedding around the domain, so it renders like this:
    - “Website ‪example.קום‬ הוא למטה”

See https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/1113170/7/chrome/browser/resources/settings/settings_shared_css.html for a generic way to do this via CSS.

See the attached for how "مثال.com" should look in LTR / RTL mode with and without the LTR embedding applied.

The following revision refers to this bug:
  https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/f64108bd1b5cbd2455605363f765173806abc58b

commit f64108bd1b5cbd2455605363f765173806abc58b

Settings: URLs displayed in Site Settings are now all LTR.

According to the URL spec here - https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#url-rendering,
URLs being displayed in bidirectional text "should be rendered as if it were in
a left-to-right embedding". Update places in Site Settings that display a URL
to conform to this.

See https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=862919#c4 for a
screenshot of how this may affect a URL with RTL characters.

patricialor, is this work complete? if so, can you please close the bug? thanks!

Unfortunately not - the patch in #c5 only did this for Chrome Site Settings, so anywhere else inside settings that displays URLs may not have the correct behavior. I think it may be best for someone from the permissions team or perhaps the settings team to triage?
