Description

With Apple's Hebrew Language Kit, adding Hebrew and Yiddish text to your documents is both easy and affordable.

This easy-to-install, easy-to-use kit lets you enter, edit, and print Hebrew and Yiddish text. You can switch effortlessly between these languages and the computer's main language. Hebrew and Yiddish can be mixed with left-to-right languages in the same document--even in the same sentence. The kit features a selection of keyboard layouts optimized for both native speakers and students, along with transparent labels for customizing your keyboard.

The Hebrew Language Kit works with most Mac OS-compatible applications that support right-to-left text entry, including multilingual and Hebrew-localized applications. Because the kit builds on the inherent multilingual capabilities of the Mac OS, text created in one application is transportable to another. You can copy and paste or drag and drop between applications, and work with documents created by colleagues in Israel who use the Hebrew version of the Mac OS.

The Hebrew Language Kit includes a selection of Apple TrueType fonts enhanced with exciting new QuickDraw GX typographic features. TrueType font technology ensures high-quality on-screen and printed characters at any size.

This product is part of a family of Apple language solutions, which offer an affordable way to internationalize your Macintosh system. You can install as many different Apple Language Kits as you need on a single computer. Apple's multilingual product offerings include the Arabic Language Kit, the Chinese Language Kit, the Chinese Dictation Kit, the Cyrillic Language Kit, the Japanese Language Kit, and others.
