Which exactly: the visual-hebrew version? logical hebrew version?
semi-logical hebrew version? (I believe that the latter does not use
proper HTML). I think surfree's forums leave a cookie with the choice of
the hebrew method.

You need to set the font of the "window tile". And you need an iso10646-1
font. If you have a windows partition near by, follow the instructions
mentioned previously in this thread to install such fonts.
Note: you realy haven't started using the hebrew translation. The whole
hebrew translation should be full of those "?" once hebrew messages are
used and the fonts are not setup yet.

You don't have to have "English". If you use no translation catalog, the
default strings will be used. While it is not guaranteed anywhere that
those strings will be english, practically they are.

The gettext cataloge files should be found in:
locale/he/LC_MESSAGE/*.mo
locale should be typically under shre/ of some tree (/usr/share in an RPM
installation).

No idea. Do they publish ones?
