If you can't find it, file one yourself. It's a good
idea to put Tomas on the CC list since he does the
Hebrew and bidi work.
If you can fidn it, vote for it or add yourself to the
CC list, or both. Then it'll get a little more
attention and you'll hear about it when it changes.

That's a good question. I believe it's in an FAQ on
our site somewhere but I'm CC'in the dev list again
in case somebody who knows better than me can answer.
I think you can create a .po file and use the tools
that work with GNU gettext or you can make a .strings
file manually. But I've never done this before.

You need to create a .strings file called
/user/wp/strings/he-IL.strings
And a label set file called
/src/wp/ap/xp/ap_TB_LabelSet_he-IL.h
If you use a .po file to do, it must be named
/po/he-IL.po

Any as long as it supports all the characters you
need. Just pick the one you use for all your other
Hebrew stuff on your OS.
On Unix/Linux that will probably be ISO-8859-8, on
Windows it will probably be CP1255. If you're a big
fan of Unicode, you can use UTF-8.
You have to put the name of the encoding in the files
anyway so the software can convert it to Unicode
internally.
Hope this helps, sorry for the bits I wasn't 100%
clear with.
Andrew.
