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 ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
