I'm using English as my family tree language because I have relatives all over the world. My language is Hebrew.
I dont want to have two family trees to maintain (English + Hebrew).

So

I thought of an idea.
The dictionary.xml file lets me generate a report in Hebrew for my tree. The problem is that the name (first + last) will be in English.

I thought of using the dictionary.xml to translate names from English to Hebrew. I tried it and it worked.
However - the list of names and surnamesis very long.

my question:
I want to create a new xml file that will hold all the names and surnames I want.
Is there any methods within the Report generator that I can use to retrieve information from the xml file (like the LanguageDictionary method)?
