This makes all the text LTR, for instance if one has an English word embedded in the RTL text, that will be shown incorrectly.  Or even if one of the headers (say, on the left side) is plain English.

Why wouldn't something like the following work?

\startsetups setup:bidi

\setupdirections[bidi=on,method=default,fences=no]

\stopsetups

\setupheader[setups=setup:bidi]

Thank you very much.

This solves the issue of the arabic text in header as well.
