Hebrew Language Support

Does anyone know if there is any kind of Hebrew language support for Family Historian please? I'm thinking of reports in the first instance.

I have a number of relations whose first language is Hebrew.
I know FH supports Hebrew dates etc but really looking for full translation and layout changes to the reports.

Thanks in advance.

Although not ideal, you can create custom fact sets, which can with a bit of work translate a large percentage of the english in the narrative reports (but it can't handle the Hebrew character set), but can work well for other European languages.

Another option might be to save the reports as html files and run them through Google translate or similar, I have no idea how good the translation might be, but it could be worth a try.

Thanks Jane,
I will give the html report translation a try.

I found this one
http://translate.google.com/?tr=f&hl=en

Which will also do Word Documents, so you could save to RTF from FH and put those through. I can't test it as I don't speak 'properly' any language other than English.

This is wonderful Jane, thank you, it works a treat. I can't read Hebrew either but the translator shows the English original if you roll the mouse over it.

I think I can publish this as an alternative and will get feedback from our Hebrew speaking relations.

Thanks again
