Hi,

Please let me know interface language of your PDA. Do you have any localization software or language support installed on your PDA? Also give me you Pocket PC model and the version of your dictionary.

Thanks.

Please note:
Hebrew writing system is RTL (reverse writing direction or leftwards) both for words and text order.

So if you type '[ALEF]', '[BET]', '[GIMEL]' - you get string:
"[GIMEL][BET][ALEF]"

If you mean something else, please explain with more details..

Hi,
I downloaded the demo version to try your product.
Everything works fine on the PPC, but when I sync.
it with my PC (calendar, inbox etc...), the hebrew
is reversed (if i write something on my pc and sync
it to the ppc, it will be reversed on my ppc, and vice versa)

Do you have any solution for this?

Its a known Windows CE (pocket pc) problem with lack of Hebrew language support..

way1:
You should find some ActiveSync conversion filters that supports Hebrew language for easy documents trasfer.

This functionality is probably a part of some of Pocket PC localization software.

way2:
Use button with [<->] symbol on hebrew keyboard (left from <Space> button) to invert Hebrew text.
Just select all text you need with stylus and press [<->] key;
then sync you data to desktop PC.

(But this method will work only for small piece of text)
