Hebrew on Maemo (Nokia 770 and N800) again

[Erez D]

although rebooting didn't help.

this morning i can read hebrew SMS and have hebrew virtual keyboard

probably somthing was cached, and using other phone's functionality (like
listening to music with names in hebrew or somthing like that), or maybe
defining the keyboard to arabic helped

still do not have hardware keyboard. no option to choose hebrew.

any idea ?
