Hello from Israel :-)
Why do people come to you via English language search?
Well, the main reason (for me at least), is that the information in Hebrew about i18n/globalization is very very limited.

I have been in the i18n/l10n business for Hebrew for the last 8 years or so, and from I have seen, most of the work is done by multi-national teams, where the common language is English (it is not rare that in a Hebrew l10n project, except for the translators, I’m the only native Hebrew speaker there).

In a way, this is rather strange- although Israel has a vibrant high-tech industry, most of the i18n/l10n done for the Israeli market is done by foreign companies, like Microsoft, IBM, Google, Etc (they do have Israeli offices, but a large part of the team isn’t here).
