Compare your response to that of libre-office[א]: no-fuss, completed in
a few days, compared to a four-year drawn-out process involving too much
educating.

I'm not sure what you mean[ב]. Variable 'footnote-section-tag' can be set
to a localized string, either by evaluation or through
customize-variable. What is annoying for me now is using RTL footnotes
in an LTR document, because the footnote section keeps bouncing between LTR
and RTL whenever emacs prompts me for word-completion candidates (I
think that would be 'company-mode').
