I do not think we should do it this way. The quotes inset needs to be
improved anyway, and the problems you have are not really related to
hebrew, but to language support. I think we should have some language
files like french.lng, hebrew.lng, which contain:
- the quote style, for both normal and inner quotes (this will often
be double and single, but needn't be so).
- the default character encoding both for latex and X fonts. I'm not
sure our font systems allows for multiple encodings yet.
- a translation of common latex variables like \chaptername, taken
from babel files. These would be then used in layout files.
- maybe some special preamble commands when invoking babel is not
enough.
- what else?
While we do not want to put all of it in right now, I think the quotes
chnage should be done in this setting. One possibility could be to
have four kind of quotes (left, right, inner left and inner right) and
let LyX display/output them depending on the current language. Of
course, this is not really backward compatible with old-style quotes,
but I in the current settings quotes insets are not really quotes...
I used to have a file containing different languages conventions for
quotes, but of course I can't find it anymore.
What do other think? How should quotes be handled? What other
language-specific settings should we add?

I'm willing to apply this one, if you can provide a patch just for
that (I don't want to apply it wrongly).

Like for quotes, we should search a better solution. Note that you can
use the Layout->Save_layout_as_default to have this as a default for
new files.

This one is in.

They are in.
