using hebrew in a german basic setup

[Benedikt Bindewald]

Hi!

I was trying to use different languages/keyboards like german, english and hebrew in a german setup, meaning I put the basić language of my ubuntu into german and then wanted to use hebrew aswell, which was not possible and I also didn't find a workaround. When I put the basic language of ubuntu into hebrew it works (of course), and I realized that in english as basic language it also works to change between different languages/keyboards. Would be nice to have this option in a german environment aswell. You know, these two countries, they have enough issues already ;)
Best regards
Benedikt

Thanks for your report!

I don't quite understand. Is it input languages you are talking about, i.e. do you want to be able to switch between English, German and Hebrew for typing? There should be no problem to do so.

Can you please describe in more detail what you tried to do, and exactly how you reached the conclusion that it's "not possible".
