Neither of them made sense to me. Furthermore, Qtext conforms to the 
Win3.1 language switching convention, right-alt-shift always switches to Hebrew 
while left-alt-shift always switches to English, while Win9x uses both 
alt-shift simply as switch language, which means that the language shown 
on the toolbar is not necessarily the language Qtext writes in.
