Hi,

I don't know about Hebrew, but is this working to start with:

System.Language = "de_DE.UTF-8"

ie. specify the encoding too.

You have to install the language you want to use too:

For instance the German one:

$ sudo aptitude install language-pack-de-base

language-pack-he and language-pack-he-base
are for Hebrew.

Couldn't find out which System.Language string you need with that...

Kind regards,
Ron_2nd.
