The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
For Hebrew, you could go with "Ivrit," which is (AFAIK) an acceptable (and oft-used) transliteration of the Hebrew for Hebrew.

Subject: RE: outsourcing technical communication
I thought I would add this... Looking at the Pivotal web page I notice
it presents the following languages:
French
Deutch
Japanese
Espagnol
Hebrew
Judging by the consistency of this list, I would ask whether it was
compiled by an outsource source. Or maybe an outsource source would
have done better, having greater sensitivity to international issues.
Either use all lower ASCII and stick to the English spellings of the
languages, or use the proper spellings for all. (I believe Nihongo
works because it qualifies as a Romaji form of the word. And I have no
idea how to treat Hebrew in this context.) But I really like their
Italian way to spell the Spanish "enye" (n-with-tilde) - creative, even
if it's politically incorrect. Here are the two alternatives I would
suggest (assuming the higher characters come across):
Français French
Deutch German
Nihongo Japanese
Español Spanish
Hebrew (??) Hebrew
