As far as I know this is not the situation with RPM based distros, at
least not the ones I am using.

In order to get hebrew support you need to have the translated texts
installed (if there are ones - not every program has hebrew translations)
- these are most often installed as part of the main RPM of the software
regardless of the locales configured on the system. sometimes this can be
in an additional package that must be installed (like KDE for example).

You then need somehow instruct the software to display the hebrew text.
this is usually done by setting the LC_MESSAGES or LC_ALL environment
variables, but it does not require the actull locale package to be
installed (although that would be nice). again KDE is the exception where
you need to set that up using their configuration interface
