Here is the corrected question:"How do I install a Hebrew keyboard and Israeli locale and be able to switch back and forth between English and Hebrew".
======================== Dear List - Sorry for the delay and thanks for all your help.I tried every way and could not find a mechanism for a keyboard shortcut to switch languages.
So............. as I understand........The installed Hebrew keyboard is a blank keyboard w/o any keyboard map or bindings.
To achieve the map and bindings for Hebrew - I setxkbmap il and for Engliish - setkbmap us.
Two launchers on the desktop...DONE.Ethan
