Another way of getting into the setup Multi-language feature (for any
version of Windows Internet Browser) is as follow:

1.      On the Windows Start menu, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
2.      Double Click on the Internet Options Icon
3.      Click on the General tab
4.      Click on the language button
5.      Click Add button
6.      Choose Hebrew language from the list
7.      Click OK and again on the next window OK and the next windows OK

You can get to the same setup feature by opening the 'Internet browser' (The
icon on the desktop).
Choose the 'Tool' menu tab, 'General' tab, 'Language' tab, 'Add' tab, Choose
'Hebrew' from the list, Ok, OK, OK.

To verify that the Hebrew language installed (side by side to the English
language) do the following:

1.      Open the Internet browser as usual (Double clicking on the desktop icon)
2.      Click View menu tab
3.      Click Encoding
4.      Observe the Hebrew (Windows) line?

If you have observed a line there such as 'Hebrew DOS' for example, click on
the 'More' option, scroll down the list and locate 'Hebrew (Windows)' option
click on that one and close the tabs.

In some cases, such as trying to read a web site that is containing Hebrew
language, the system will automatically asking / installing for the Hebrew
language fonts and the following procedure:
The user will be requiring of providing the system with the original windows
Operating System CD (only the original will do).
In such a case the system will ask for the original Windows operating System
CD disk to be inserted in the CD reader device.  Do that?.
The system may ask for the path to the CD (Sometimes it will find it by
default).  Specify the path (The CD drive letter) in the right
path-location-specifyer and the system will find and install the Hebrew
fonts.  Once it was done you are automatically set up and not require in
going through the Multi-language installation procedure that described in
details above.

Not to worry, the Hebrew language installation procedure will never remove
the English language option (The always default option).
In case the Windows Internet browser is reading Hebrew only and did not
switched automatically to the English language (Rare corruption in your own
Windows Operating System), do not panic, all you have to do is following the
'Encoding' simple and fast procedure (described already above and brought
here again for your convenience)

To verify that the Hebrew language installed (side by side to the English
language) do the following:

1.      Open the Internet browser as usual (Double clicking on the desktop icon)
2.      Click View menu tab
3.      Click Encoding
4.      Observe the Hebrew (Windows) line?
5.      Click on English (Windows) line, get out ...and you are done.
