Never change this in each translation of a wml file. It should be fixed
only once at a single location.
I doubt the CSS file (e.g. arabic/debian-ar.css) is responsible. It
seems that the WML construct {#check_trans#} is translated into <div
class="bidi"> at least for Arabic (it's used in
english/template/debian/mainpage.wml, ...). But where is {#check_trans#}
defined (there is no relation to check_trans.pl, right?)?
Could it be that wml needs to know that Hebrew is a bidi language????

In english/template/debian/languages.wml (I wrote you already (multiple
times IIRC) about this). But I think it is OK. For Japanese we use also
"Nihongo" instead of "Japanese" which should be the transliteration of
the Japanese translation of this word. Similar rules applies to
Hebrew as well (or is Hebrew the translitaration of עברית?).
PS: Please create a Hebrew CSS file based on arabic/debian-ar.css so
that you can use proper quoting signs in the output of "<q>a quote</q>".
PS2: It seems like template/debian/release.wml contains also a lot of
translation stuff. Hebrew is missing in it.
