I wish that it was that easy. There are some unique Hebrew grammer that I don't think a simple translation like from English to Franch or Spanish does. For example translating the dates - I can use the hebrew calander or I can translate the Gregorian one into Hebrew. This is not somthing that I can only use the dictionary.xml.

I'm trying as much as I can to put the translations in the dictionary.xml but I still have phrases that are different for male and female. For instance you are using the word "is" for both, while in Hebrew I need to use Is_M, Is_F and Is_. The code should be modified as well with the individual's gender to select the right term.

I guess that while translating, I will find more thngs, like the Hyperlink issue. I hope that when I will finish my work, the translation will be more automatic like the other languages.

The code & Dictionary already has the capability for male/female forms of 'is' (or ToBe_Present). You can add ToBe_Present_F and/or ToBe_Present_M forms. This is (badly) documented in the Dictionary: 

As I wrote before, when I will have a problem, I'll let you know.

As for the names translations, is it an automatic procedure in the report generator, or should I add somthing for "sending" the ReportGenerator to translate the name?
I looked in the help files and didn't found anything. In previous versions I wrote my own code for translating the names.

Each part of Individuals names will be translated from the language code in the LangNames parameter to the language code specified in the Language attribute of the the Skin element in the Config.xml file. PLace names and Occupation titles can also be translated by setting the LangPlace & LangOccupation parameters and adding the required elements & attributes to the NameDictionary.xml (see notes in sample NameDictionary.xml provided with the Narrative skin)

ALternatively it is also possible to add a translated name in brackets following the original name in the Report. In this case set Config Parameter TagNameAlternative to the tag to be translated (e.g. Name to translate full name) and set LangAlternative to the code of the language it is to be translated to. e.g. set to HE to add Hebrew translation (where they exist in NameDictionary.xml) following the original names.

I have only done limited testing on these features.

Well, this is the option I chose. I set the LangNames parameter to "Y" and the LangNameDictionary to "NameDictionary.xml" but the names are still in English and are not translated to the Hebrew name which is in the NameDictionary.xml.

What am I doing wrong?

Now its working!!!

When the person's name has an ' in it like Ya'akov (Jacob in Hebrew), the name is translated OK in the regular text, but not in the HTML link (I guess it is because of the HTML sentance structure which contains other ' symbol in them)

I did find a couple of places where the translated name is not used, i.e. in a 'References' section and in the 'family with' phrase. I have attached a revised skin that corrects this omission.
