edit ~/.kde/share/config/kpilotrc
Add a line saying:
Encoding=ISO-8859-8-I

That's it. Considering how simple it is, it's amazing how long this problem remained unsolved.

I don't understand why KDE systematically refuses to use the locale information for it's activity. kpilot ignores LC_CTYPE. Other KDE applications look at LC_CTYPE, and use it to set the LANGUAGE!! This breaks the consistent environment behaviour, and is a major headache. To ballance that, KDE introduces it's own, incompatible, set of standards that are independantly configured. Not suprisingly, not everything has a GUI, makeing one go through the sources (as I had to do just now) in order to find out how to do something that was supposed to be as simple as setting an environment variable.
