I have a client who is a Rabbi. He has to be able to write and read in Hebrew and send and receive Hebrew documents. Currently he is using a PC with no problems, but he wants to switch over to Apple. I can't blame him, but we have to make sure he is not going to run into problems. Any Israelis out there? Anybody know if this will be a problem?
Thanks.
The main problem is that ms office for mac has never supported Hebrew. The best app for writing is Mellel, but TextEdit, Pages 5, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.
I would also recommend that in order to ensure the person is getting the document in a format they can understand that he prints to PDF the documents. Macs do that very easily.
OpenOffice is free and crossplatform. If they need to edit his documents, they should all agree to use OpenOffice.
any problems with hebrew on a mac
