That would only work if the Hebrew keyboard layout they were using had this mapping of letters. Most language layouts for non-Roman scripts don't optimize for phonetically approximating the corresponding English letters (presumably on a QWERTY layout).
It appears that they don't match to the TLD letters here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_keyboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_keyboard
- yarinr 6y agoThat's correct. Typing 'com' with the keyboard set to Hebrew results in 'בםצ' (which is not even pronounceable) not 'קום'. The Hebrew keyboard layout has no relation to QWERTY in terms of phonetics.
- ars 6y agoThere is a Hebrew phonetic keyboard layout: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_keyboard#Hebrew_on_standard_Latin-based_keyboards https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hebrew_keyboard#Hebrew_on_stan... it's built in on Android, windows, Linux, etc. Usually used by non-native Hebrew speakers. > 'בםצ' (which is not even pronounceable) Sounds like a new snack from Osem :)
