The page index.html.he.iso-8859-8 is full with mistakes. Can I rewrite it? PLEASE do... and we would likely copy the original author with your revisions. We really do want more than one set of eyeballs on the translations... my earlier comment on one of our translations was the number of chuckles it raised from the native speakers. IMHO, translations to one of the author's primary languages are always better than second languages. We want to incorporate as many translations as possible, but it's not productive to apply our two-year second-langauge skills to the effort :-) > 2. There is two Charsets to Hebrew: > A. ISO - Meaning Revrese Letter - Harder to do, but all OS read it. > B. Windows 1255 - Better, but i'm not sure it's good for linux.... > What do you recommend? ISO. The underlying issue is cross-platform compatibility. Windows proprietary encodings don't accomplish that key goal.
