 Replying to [comment:1 ido]:
 > kudos on the translation ! seams like a lot of work.
 > Hebrew virtual keyboard, langsettings and FindProgram are already in the
 code. maybe we should all coordinate our efforts to prevent duplicate
 work.
 > OSD display was also patched before, but maybe your solution is better
 (i just had a quick peek).
 > I was also tempted to change m_justification, but 0 means auto align,
 which is better.

 Thanks :-)

 Nice to know there are other Hebrew users out there.

 I am using the stable version and didn't find Hebrew support there. Should
 have looked at the latest sources, but the most important thing for me is
 stability, so I missed it.

 About the m_justification - it is a simple solution and works okay for
 both RTL and LTR languages (I really didn't have time to look for a better
 RTL solution, but I'll be happy to get one in the next stable release).

 BTW, I also written an EPG grabber in Java, which currently supports only
 YES (from their site), but can be expanded to support HOT as well; it
 knows, in addition to titles and start/stop times, to set categories for
 shows, set episode number/name (which is very important to automate
 recordings), add actor names and movie air-date. It also uses a file cache
 to reduce network traffic. I personally didn't find a better YES EPG
 grabber for Linux, and if there public demand then I can make it a little
 more user friendly and publish it.

 I'm currently quite satisfied with the usability level of my mythtv, but
 I'll be happy to join forces (especially working on the
 'mythfrontend_he.ts' is a tedious task, and I would be happy to see more
 Hebrew there).
