Android does not support Hebrew, or any RTL languages, at this time. It is something they are working on, but I would not expect it until 2011.

@yoav.str: You would have to ask Motorola what they did for Hebrew. Android *itself* does not support Hebrew, or any RTL languages, at this time. Hence, the Android emulator does not ship with Hebrew translations of any messages. The Droid series of fonts have at least some Hebrew glyphs, so if you use Hebrew Unicode strings, they should show up fine in your application. – CommonsWare Jul 12 '10 at 17:36
