still there is a problem with mplayer and hebrew translation i never used a
lot of translation in ubuntu and most movies and
series i see without translation but in some movies like avatar and etc i
need subtitles for everyone not just me and that is
how i noticed that there is a problem the strange part is that if i download
libfribidi-dev from synaptic and compile from source
it's ok in gnome-mplayer but not in smplayer and i still think that if
mplayer would include hebrew windows 1255 like vlc it should
work properly no matter what ubuntu team would do.
