There are some very good translations / local implementations (www.whatsup.co.il - postnuke, www.xslf.com - Movable Type) and a very nice DIY (www.wicca-israel.com). These are mainly blog and nuke type sites, that depend on the PHP/MySql (or equivalent) both for maintaining and displaying the site.
My concept of a CMS (which is where I might have misled the topic), was a mechanism to maintain both the content and layout.
Another aspect I was thinking about is publishing to static pages (or quasi-static pages using includes) so the pages can be served from a lighter and more secure installation of Apache (I guess this can also be done with a CMS that generates nice URLs and something like wget).
Typo3 (www.typo3.org) seems such a system, but has a very complex mechanism for managing content and a high learning curve.
While the front end of most packages will work in hebrew (just add the correct headers to the templates) I see two issues with Hebrew:
1. The backed (especially the cleaver ones which use some sort of HTML editors) also needs to be translated (which at the moment is an overkill for me).
2. The templates and, more important, the data entry systems, assume that the layout of the *site* will be LTR. So multi column or menu driven sites seem awkward.
I continue my quest while I still use the CMS mechanisms I already have - Mozilla composer and VI...

Hi,
This has been brought up before, but the solutions shown were not quite what I was looking for.
I am looking for a CMS (content management system) for web sites that will support a bilingual site (hebrew and english, preferably with UTF-8). This is not for a member type site, such as plone, nuke's, wiki's or blogs, but more of information site with a limited and finite number of editors.
To date, the closest thing I found was ezPublish (http://www.ez.no/) which handles UTF-8 nicely and has multilingual content management. It does seems a bit complex in the design area, especially if RTL text is included.
Any ideas or recommendations welcome.
