Dan didn't stress that unlike the old Hebrew-only-OpenOffice's Hspell support,
this new one doesn't replace the English spell-checker by a Hebrew one, but
rather the two coexist, and mixed-language can be spell-checked without any
configuration necessary - each word is checked with the dictionary of the
appropriate language. If I may say so myself, the results are beautiful.

Finally, my "normal" (English) OpenOffice installation spell-checks Hebrew!
