Yaron, 
Nobody was trying to make a joke out of you. It's just a discussion and 
sometimes people disagree.

On this matter I have to agree with Diego - CLI applications should not be 
translated at all.
CLI is an environment for advanced users and those usually don't work with 
Hebrew translations at all.
Problem solved.

Diego's solution should translate into a bug for Rosetta - enabling you
(as you are one of the admins of Ubuntu Hebrew Translators) to lock some
files and keep translators away from these files. It's a shame that
Rosetta is closed source because we could have fixed it by now.

Other technical solutions exists but they are not perfect:
1. Executing terminal emulators with LC_ALL=C . The downside is that GUI 
programs executed from CLI will also be English.
2. Creating a package that will divert all unwanted CLI translation files.
Both should be considered temporary solutions until the translation is 
officially removed from CLI apps.
I'm thinking of implementing #2 for the next Hebrew Remix since I find current 
status of Hebrew in Ubuntu's console very annoying.

Regards,
Shlomil.
