Displaying a torah section in Yiddish

By single-clicking on a day in the two-month and week calendar view, or by double-clicking on a day in the one-month calendar view, you can click on the button View torah reading in Yiddish! to view the Khumesh portion of Shabbat and holiday readings in Yiddish.

The most important settings:

• in the two-month calendar view, menu Calendar, menu item Preferences..., the default language, location for the times calculation and calendar view can be set up - the settings take effect only when the program is restarted
• in the two-month calendar view, button "sun with menorah", menu Times: setting the time format for the shabbat times and Zmanim (menu item Configure Time Format...), language of the torah readings (menu item Readings Language...)

For more information, see the help file.

In the Luach in the two-month calendar view, click on the menu Calendar, on the menu item Preferences and then on Hebrew Font.
In the appearing dialog box, select Present and OK.

Then, Hebrew can be set as default language by selecting Hebrew in the combobox Language and by activating the checkbox Hebrew. Hebrew notes can be entered by default by activating Hebrew notes - then only Hebrew text can be entered as notes with automatic word wrapping; if this setting is deactivated, Hebrew can be entered, but without automatic word wrapping.

By clicking in the menu Calendar on the menu item Readings and Holidays Preferences, the readings and holidays calculation can be set for Israel.

Please restart the Luach, so that the changes can take effect.
