Hebrew Character Settings

Hi guys,
Is there any way for me to use Hebrew Script in Libreoffice/Abiword , independently without re-setting the whole computer setup to Hebrew and using Hebrew system-wide?
At the moment, I have to translate English to Hebrew via IM-translater after the event but this results in mistakes and the new translation can't be saved as a text-file.I don't really want to have to re-configure my whole system. Before, anyone asks, I do have the Hebrew-language packs installed and other character-sets , Arabic, Chinese, etc don't seem to work either although the character-set alphabet shows up in the right format, there appears no way to format the text on the page. It still comes out English.
Any advice would be appreciated. I suppose I could set up a V.M. in Virtual-box with system-wide settings with Hebrew as the default language but I am not overconfident in using Virtual-box.Also, I would prefer not to have to boot two different OS'es to change languages.Am I missing something here?

Hi guys,
sorry-false alarm!
I found out how to change the default language in LibreOffice to Hebrew.
Guess I should have looked there first.
