Did the env vars below. Hebrew can be typed and viewed but, file names I
share from MS XP machines are junkie.

Hi all,
This issue re-accrues over and over again, I fix it (and forget about
it) and the next time I fiddle with Linux (install Gentoo for example),
I break it again. So how do I make xterm, konsole, konqueror and many
other tools to show file names and other kind of information in Hebrew?
Make sure you work with a locale whose charset is UTF-8. The simplest
thing is just to set LANG=he_IL.UTF-8 or LANG=en_US.UTF-8 [*] .
It is also possible to set:
LANG=he_IL.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=C
to avoid programs from using Hebrew as their language.
This is normally set in /etc/environment or explicitly by the DM (gdm/kdm)
when you login. Make sure also that such a locale exists. Though the DM
normally only knows how to set LANG and not something more complex.
[*] en_US.UTF-8 is generally a bad choice for locale definitions, as
they use a different date format, printer page size, mesurment units,
etc. en_GB.UTF-8 is closer to what we have
