I take back what I wrote. I realized that for some reason (unknown to
me) when I launch BD from a link to application on my desktop it seems
to load with different settings. When I launch it from a terminal, the
latest nightly build and Hebrew displays properly. Sorry for the
confusion. It must be something on my system.<br>

<pre wrap="">DM,
That's great. I'm glad that feature is up and running. I tried it out, and it
makes it much easier to work with multiple languages.
