Have a look at:
http://fjolliton.free.fr/babytrans/
While that spesific project is dead, it has links to three other projects.
I heard something about qtrans 0.0.9 supposed to support hebrew.
I also heard that KQuick is having troubles interperting the hebrew in the
dictionaries.
I bnever got to test those rumors.

There is also a minor issue of obtaining the dictionaries. I'm not sure I
like the approach of KQuick here...
BTW: would anybody want to write a script that will extract the words list
out of such a dictionary? (for the local copy of ispell...)
