@Yaron, I really don't know what you are trying to do here. If you personally prefer to work on LibreOffice it's fine, it's your decision. But I think by courtesy and respect to other open source projects you shouldn't try to discriminate other projects. It shed really a very bad view on you personally your character and indirect on the other project that you personally prefer. We here in the OpenOffice project respect other projects and are fair enough to let people/volunteers decide on their own. @Itzik, welcome at Apache OpenOffice and we appreciate that you are interested to help us with the translation into Hebrew. Some other people gave you already some further information how to start. You should keep in mind that OpenOffice is very popular and we have since April last year more than 35 million downloads and the number is growing quite fast with ~1 million per month. I personally take my motivation out if this fact that I spent my time and my energy in such a popular project used by millions of users all over the world. You can help us to improve OpenOffice for Hebrew and can help to make it better for all. We need native speaking people that help us to identify problems. And of course we need an active translation community because we only release languages where we see an active community behind.
