Here's a quote: "Eyal Bari's Hebrew support is a brave and admirable effort to bring Hebrew into BeOS, but unfortunately it is of very limited use. Without BiDi capable text-areas, typing Hebrew text is essentially a hack."
If you can't get this to work on Zeta, don't dwell on it. You're not missing much.

The Switcher/Mozilla/Hebrew keymap solution is working nicely within Mozilla composer and email. But don't I still need this Hebrew app for typing left to right in BeOS native apps?

This is *not* the package to get if you want to do anything with Hebrew under BeOS. Stick to a Hebrew keymap, fonts with Hebrew glyphs, keymap switcher and a BiDi-aware application (e.g. Mozilla and Firefox).
What you do want to get supported under Zeta is a very fine application called Switcher (http://bebits.com/app/233), but I'm not sure who you need to bug - yT or Stanislav Maximov. Anyway. it's here:

First of all I don't speak a word of hebrew, but I once installed hebrew input method under Zeta. I found a zip file being shared on BeShare, as the download link has not worked for a long time.
It would be nice seeing someone getting in contact with the developer, for a continued development of it. I've sent him a mail some time ago, but never got an answer.

I think that using English for a mailing list about Hebrew is plain ridiculous. That's why iglu.org.il is utterly useless for most Israeli Linux users, and has been superceded by fresh new websites who are not ashamed of their webmasters' mother tongue, namely penguin.org.il and whatsup.co.il
Anyway, I'm always open for new ideas :-)

we can use iglu stuff as a nice platform..

"to each real hebrew character put code for left-arrow in keymap source"
must be read:
"after each hebrew character add code for left-arrow..."

I tried once to do right-to left keymap for my israelian friend.
It is quite simple - BeOS keymap can generate quite long character sequences for single key-prss, and this is just by putting sequence in keymap source. e.g. it can to make "C programmers keymap", which generates C-keywors:)
Now back to right-to left solution - to each real hebrew character put code for left-arrow in keymap source.
And great part of this demo-work is done.
Similar trick may be done with Enter/Return/backspace/delete and Home/End keys.
Sure - big problem remains for mixed texts - e.g. i'm not sure that it can do automated placement for cursor at right position for numbers, but but Ctrl+LeftArrow does the work.

> any suggestions?
Yes, use Takayuki's excellent Hebrew keymap (part of the International Keymap Pack, bebits.com/app/698 )
BTW, I'm working on a Hebrew keymap that will go one step ahead of even Windows and Linux - it will include a Maqaf and a Geresh sign (and perhaps other missing characters as well).
Eyal Bari's Hebrew support is a brave and admirable effort to bring Hebrew into BeOS, but unfortunately it is of very limited use. Without BiDi capable text-areas, typing Hebrew text is essentially a hack.
If you want to really use Hebrew under BeOS, you need BiDi aware applications - which means you're left with Bezilla. I for one, only need Hebrew for surfing the web, writing emails and word-processing and Bezilla solves all of these needs (the latter with Composer).

this method could be very useful , but the '.' char in the keymaps maps to something completly different.. and i cant seem to make it work..
any suggestions?
i also tried to contact the author in order to get the sources.. and perhaps donate them to obos or just working on them myself...

I did download this file in the past and found it quite useful, but now the download link is dead.
I guess I still have it somewhere, oh well...
