AbiWord --dumpstrings > he-IL.strings
Then open up emacs and start your translating!

*PRETTY PRETTY PRETTY PLEASE USE UTF-8*
In some cases, one encoding works for windows, and another works for
linux (cp1252 vs iso-8859-2 vs kior-8 anyone??). Please, if you can use
UTF-8 (and if you use gedit, you can use UTF-8), do so.
