The below registry changes will not help you with the Hebrew support, but if your second language is Russian, then your hard keyboard will start support it.
Add the following to your registry:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"InitialDelay"=dword:222
"RepeatRate"=dword:A
"Locale"="0419"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=dword:00020419

Switching in between languages is possible by holding the left-bottom key (with the big blue dot on it) and pressing the Ctrl key in the same time.

For the Hebrew support try to change values of "Locale" and "Layout" keys to appropriates ones.

Thanks a lot! I have little experience working with registry. After trying for couple of hours with no success I figured out that "Locale"="0419" should be a string value (not a DWORD Value). Now my keyboard works fine)
