First of all, the kde hebrew localization requires iso10646-1
fonts. Otherwise localized strings would show up as gibrish/question
marks.
See the IGLU faq (hebrew->fonts->availble fonts) for some such fonts. You
may have to settle for "fixed" if you can't find any other.
But if you simply remove all the kde-i18n-he files, you will simply have
everything in english.
In any case, it should not cause any crashes.
