Woohoo, now my pet orangutan* can use Squeak!
But probably still not useful for his Hebrew-speaking daughter,

Just to be clear, and I'll lay this to rest, Unicode is supported in
Squeak. What is not available today is a Hebrew translation of Squeak.
Again, I'm not an expert in multilingual or unicode standards/usage.
I passed this along simply because the author uses visual icons and not
text in his version of etoys. It might be helpful for his daughter.

Bring up
a squeak text widget and try to type in Hebrew. I
go nothing in. Hebrew support is more than Unicode--Hebrew
and Arabic are right-to-left languages. German, French, etc,
do not require unicode to work. The Japanese will argue the
point.
Passing this along from the squeakland.org mailing list:
I have developped V-toys a visual programming language built
with E-TOYS and compatible with them.
V-toys is using tiles with icones instead of text.
