There;s no information about it in their website, nor there is about the
other 30 or so languages that KDE supports.

well, the support is very limited in the sense of the supoprt that hebrew
needs (RTL), but it not diffrent then the support for any other language
(no arabic) - some of the menus and texts that are built in are
translated, and also there is a "international keyboard" utility which acts in
a way similat to MS-Windows' which allows you to write hebrw characters
(but still - only left to right). it's nice, and much better then the NO
support you get everywhere else.
in order for this to work , you'll need some kind of hebrew fonts
installed on your system, otherwise you'll see losta mambo jumbo instead
of hebrw chars. I use a TrueType font server (xfstt) and the fonts from
windows. Netscape will still require "web fonts" to view hebrw pages, but
KDE's browser/file manager KFM will allow you to view hebrew pages in any
font type that you wish.
