Wine is "Hebrew enabled" but you have to tell it that you want Hebrew
to be your default language by using environment variables.

I use the following (text files):

-------------------- wine-LANG -----------------------------

#!/bin/sh

set -a

##  LANG=he_IL.utf8
LANG=he_IL.iso8859-8

LC_CTYPE="$LANG"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="$LANG"
LC_MONETARY="$LANG"
LC_MESSAGES="$LANG"
LC_PAPER="$LANG"
LC_NAME="$LANG"
LC_ADDRESS="$LANG"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="$LANG"
LC_ALL=$LANG

set +a

Both files should be in /usr/bin, you should replace the following
scripts by (hard) linking it to `wine-lang-exec':
   winepath winemine winefile winedbg wineconsole winecfg wineboot
   winebrowser uninstaller regsvr32 regedit progman notepad msiexec

Copy it from a M$Windows installation.

Ehud.
