There is a Hebrew version, but I only have the English version
legally. I could pirate the Hebrew version with no bad conscious, as I
have a legal copy of the English language software that I would then
be not using, but I wanted to avoid that. And purchasing a new copy is
very far out of the question!

They do just fine on English language installations of MS Windows,
though those seem to be Hebrew-Enabled versions. Can Wine be made
Hebrew-enabled? I personally do not know what that would take.

There are Sword clients for Linux. Shall I suggest a few? Write me
off-list so that we can keep this thread on topic.
