1. Introduction

Any language setup, other than the original American English, has two issues:

1. Displaying the right characters (fonts) - for Hebrew it's ISO-8859-8 standard.
2. Mapping the keyboard.

There is much more to Hebrew than that (like right to left, geometry in X-Windows,etc), but this HOWTO (at least for the first draft) deals only with the basic issues. [Open Source WebAssembly]

More information can be found in the various "national" HOWTOs (German, Danish, etc.) and in the ISO 8859-1 HOWTO ( ftp://ftp.vlsivie.tuwien.ac.at/pub/8bit FAQ-ISO-8859-1).
