We already have a Russian text table. It's called "ru". You can select it in 
one of three ways:

First: You can invoke brltty with the -tru (or --text-table=ru) command line 
option.

Second: You can specify the following line within "/etc/brltty.conf":

   text-table ru

Third: You can go into brltty's preferences menu (the exact key combination 
depends on what kind of braille display you're using), find the "Text Table" 
selector, and choose "ru".

Regarding Hebrew braille: We don't have a text table for Hebrew braille yet, 
but we'd like to create one. Would you be able to post a message with a 
description of which dot combinations are used for which characters? If you can 
then we'll create the table for you.
