Foreign Language in Finder & App Menus, help please?

Hello,
I'm trying to help an elderly, but adventurous new Mac user who's switched from PC/Windows and he needs to have his Finder and App menus in Hebrew. I experimented on my MacBook Pro, but was unable to switch the Language Menus to Hebrew, even though I have Hebrew Fonts installed and apparently have Hebrew capability because in the System Prefs>International>Language Panel, I was able to move the Hebrew Language option (in Hebrew letters) to first in the list above English. And I adjusted the Format and Input Panel attributes accordingly. But even Logging Out and In and Restarting would not switch the menus. Is there something I'm missing? Doing wrong? I hope to attempt this on his machine tomorrow. Any help or advice will be sincerely appreciated! Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
David

What I need to do and have been unable to do, is get Hebrew to be the OS system font - you know, in the menus and dialog boxes.
I understood you perfectly before.
What you are describing is called "OS localization". Is has nothing at all to do with the presence of Hebrew fonts on your machine or your ability to read and write Hebrew. It requires that someone has translated all the menus and dialog boxes into Hebrew. Those translations have only been done by Apple for the 18 languages which are listed in the tech specs for OS X, and Hebrew is not yet among them.
Whether the firms that sell Mac's in Israel have perhaps done these translations for themselves and offer them to their customers I don't know.

  • My itunes changed language and shows squares. HELP PLEASE.

    One day I opened Itunes and there were a bunch of boxes where the nav. bar is and i can't read anything because it just changed language. I figured out which tab goes to Edit>Preferences or whatever it is, and I tried changing the language, and they all look exactly the same; nothing changes.
    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Didn't work.

  • Garage band help appears in a foreign language. can i change the help to english?

    in os 10.9.7 garage band help appears in a foreign language. Can i change the Garage band help to help to english?

    The GarageBand help is supposed to use the language that is set as your Primary Language in the System Preferences:
    Check the settings, drag the language you want to use to the top of the list,  and restart the system .
    I that does not fix it, reinstall GarageBand. Then the correct language files are probably missing in the application bundle.

  • I deleted my photos, music and apps. Help please!

    Help me please! I have deleted all my photos and music and apps. I think everything and it keeps saying I have something on phones and I really want to update my iphone. I'm on 2.7 GB Available. I don't know what to do?!

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

  • Can't find textbox class - help please!

    I'm posting this again, in the hope that more people might help. I already know that the error means that the compiler can't find the class Textbox. I need to know why, because I've copied the relevant parts of the code from another app that builds fine. So why won't this build?
    I'm trying to write and build my first J2ME app. My code starts:
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    import java.lang.Math;
    public class TestMIDlet
    extends MIDlet
    implements CommandListener
    private Textbox tbMain;
    public void startApp()
    The build fails with numerous errors of which the first is:
    C:\WTK22\apps\TestMIDlet\src\TestMIDlet.java:9: cannot find symbol
    symbol : class Textbox
    location: class TestMIDlet
    private Textbox tbMain;
    with the caret under the 'T' of Textbox
    I don't understand what's wrong with this, as it's in many of the sample apps I've looked at.
    Thanks
    Ed

    Thanks very much!
    I've lost count of the times I've been caught by that case-sensitivity thing in Javascript. I thought it was just the first letter that had to be capitalised. Progress at last!

  • Deleting app's help please

    Hi..
    I have downloaded what's app on my bbq10, however i would like to remove this as i do not like it. No idea how to tho?
    Also can i delet twitter and linkin apps....
    sorry for sounding so simple but this phone has me running in circles already.
    I am sure it is simple
    Thanks in advance all

    To delete an app, one of two methods,...
    Touch and hold an icon for about three seconds and it will begin to pulsate, and you'll see the small trashcan icon at the top right of the icon. Touch that trashcan icon and confirm the deletion.
    Or, open your BlackBerryWorld > MyWorld > My Apps and Games > Downloaded. In that list, you can touch and hold an entry for an app and then touch the lower right trashcan icon.
    For Twitter and LinkedIn, I would not delete them as they are "core apps" part of the native OS and once deleted the OS will/may begin to bug you that you have an upgrade. Instead, you want to create folder, name it something like 'Junk', place the unwanted icons in that folder then move that Junk folder to your last or right most icon panel. If you need help with creating a folder, let me know.
