A minor point, but I suggest you not use "bi-directional"
in that context.
"Bidirectional" is a term of art in Unicode character encoding,
and refers to the mixture of left-to-right and right-to-left
rendering in scripts such as Hebrew and Arabic that are
predominantly right-to-left, but which are interspersed
with bits of text from other scripts or numbers that
lay out left-to-right.
What you mean by "bi-directional conversion" in a character
encoding context is usually referred to as "roundtrip
mapping".
