A real estate office in Tel Aviv signs up for your platform. The office manager logs in and sees an English menu on the left of the screen, while her agents write to buyers in Hebrew all day, type names in Hebrew and expect every screen to read from right to left. She asks the obvious question: “Can it be in Hebrew?” If you answer “yes, all of it” and she finds English settings pages a week later, you lose her trust. If you answer “partly, and here is exactly which part,” you keep it.
This guide gives you that exact answer for GoHighLevel in Hebrew. It covers what HighLevel (also called GoHighLevel or GHL) shows in Hebrew today, what a theme adds, how right-to-left layout behaves with mixed Hebrew and English, which Hebrew words to use in the menu, how Israeli dates, shekels and the Sunday-to-Thursday week appear, what happens to Hebrew SMS, WhatsApp and email, which fonts work, and a step-by-step setup. GHL Dashboard Builder is an independent design service and is not affiliated with HighLevel; where our product helps, we say what it does and where it stops.
Can GoHighLevel be used in Hebrew today?
Partly. HighLevel’s built-in language setting does not include Hebrew at the time of writing, and its interface is not designed for right-to-left reading. You can still give Israeli clients a Hebrew menu and navigation with a mirrored layout through custom code, and you can write all customer-facing content in Hebrew yourself.
What HighLevel offers natively
HighLevel has started translating its own interface. HighLevel’s help center article on internationalization explains that each sub-account has a default language under Settings, Business Profile, Platform Language, and that each user can override it under Settings, My Profile. A sub-account is one client’s workspace in HighLevel; HighLevel also calls it a location. The languages in that list are European ones such as Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch and the Nordic languages. Hebrew is not one of them at the time of writing.
Agencies have asked for it. A request titled Hebrew language on HighLevel’s ideas board comes from a user who wants to build a business on HighLevel in Israel and change the interface to Hebrew, and a second request from February 2024 asks whether and when a Hebrew interface will arrive. A broader request for right-to-left text direction support names Hebrew, Arabic, Persian and Urdu. None of these shows a release date. Treat them as a sign that HighLevel knows about the need, not as a roadmap.
What agencies do in the meantime
Agencies serving Hebrew-speaking clients work in three layers:
- Interface layer. A theme in HighLevel’s agency-level Custom CSS and Custom JavaScript boxes translates the menu and navigation and sets the page direction to right-to-left. This is the part your client sees first, every time they log in.
- Content layer. Everything the client’s customers see, such as SMS, WhatsApp templates, emails, forms, surveys, funnels, booking pages and invoices, is written in Hebrew by your team or the client’s team in HighLevel’s normal editors.
- Settings layer. Time zone, currency and business details are set per sub-account, so what HighLevel generates itself, such as invoices and reminders, looks right for Israel.
The rest of this guide goes through each layer. If you are new to branding HighLevel at all, start with our guide to white-labeling HighLevel, which explains the logo, domain and custom code settings this article builds on.
What can be shown in Hebrew, and what stays in English?
The menu, the navigation and the parts of the interface a theme restyles can be shown in Hebrew. HighLevel’s own page content, its builders, its system emails and its mobile app keep following HighLevel’s language settings. Your clients’ customer-facing content can be fully Hebrew, because you write it.
This is the single most important thing to explain before a client buys. An office manager who expects every word on every screen to be Hebrew will be disappointed. An office manager who knows that the menu, the main navigation and every message buyers receive will be in Hebrew, while some inner settings screens stay in English, can make an informed choice. Most teams spend their day in five or six places: conversations, calendars, contacts, the opportunities board and the dashboard. Those are where a Hebrew menu and right-to-left layout make the biggest difference.
| Part of GoHighLevel | Native Hebrew today | With a Hebrew theme | Who makes it Hebrew |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left menu (sidebar) and its 19 items | No | Yes, translated and moved to the right | The theme |
| Header search, notifications, profile menu | No | Yes, for the parts the theme restyles | The theme |
| Page direction (right-to-left) | No | Yes, for the parts the theme restyles | The theme |
| Labels and text inside HighLevel’s own pages | No | No, follows HighLevel’s Platform Language | HighLevel |
| Workflow, funnel, website and email builders | No | Mostly left-to-right | HighLevel |
| SMS, WhatsApp and email content | Yes, any language you type | Not affected | You or the client |
| Forms, surveys, funnels, booking pages | Text yes; full right-to-left no | Not affected | You, with testing |
| HighLevel’s mobile app | No | Not affected | HighLevel |
| System emails and notifications | No | Not affected | HighLevel |
Why the inner pages stay in English
A theme works by changing how the browser displays HighLevel’s pages. It can replace the visible text of stable, predictable elements such as menu labels. It cannot safely rewrite every sentence, tooltip, error message and setting description inside every HighLevel module, because those change with HighLevel’s releases and come from HighLevel’s own code. A theme that tried would break often and could show wrong text where accuracy matters, such as billing or compliance settings.
So the honest promise to an Israeli client is: “Your team’s menu and navigation will be in Hebrew and the screen will read right to left. Some inner settings pages and the builders are still in English.” Many Israeli professionals use English software every day, so this split is usually acceptable, as long as you say it before the sale and not after.
How does GHL Dashboard Builder put GoHighLevel in Hebrew?
GHL Dashboard Builder translates GoHighLevel’s menu and navigation into Hebrew, switches the layout to right-to-left automatically, lets you rename any menu item in your own Hebrew or English wording, and installs as one CSS line and one JavaScript line in HighLevel’s custom code settings. It does not translate HighLevel’s inner pages.
GHL Dashboard Builder is an independent design service that turns the standard HighLevel (GoHighLevel) dashboard into a branded platform: your colors, menu, login design, privacy mode and your clients’ language, installed with two lines of code. For Hebrew, the relevant pieces are the built-in Hebrew language pack, the menu editor, Hebrew-capable fonts, sub-account targeting and the install itself.
What the Hebrew setup includes
- A Modern Hebrew pack. The menu, the sidebar’s search and sub-account switcher, the header’s search box, notifications and profile menu, common buttons and the tab names our theme shows are translated into Modern Hebrew. Hebrew is one of 15 languages, and one of 3 that read right to left, alongside Arabic and Urdu.
- Automatic right-to-left. When the language is Hebrew and direction is set to automatic, the sidebar moves to the right and the page direction switches. You can also force left-to-right if a bilingual team prefers the familiar layout with Hebrew labels.
- Your own wording. Override any translated label, so a clinic sees “patients” and a broker sees “deals” in Hebrew.
- Menu editor. Rename, reorder, hide and badge any of HighLevel’s 19 menu items, and add your own items.
- Hebrew fonts. Noto Sans Hebrew, Heebo, Assistant and Rubik in the builder.
- One sub-account or a few. Limit the Hebrew design to the clients who need it, from one install.
- No data access. The builder never connects to your HighLevel account and the installed code does not send data anywhere.
At a glance: features, what they do, which plan
| Feature | What it does for your Israeli clients | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Languages and right-to-left | Hebrew menu and navigation, sidebar on the right, page direction switched | Pro and Agency |
| Menu editor | Rename, reorder, hide and badge the 19 menu items in Hebrew or English | Pro and Agency |
| Brand and colors, fonts | Your colors and a Hebrew-capable font across the dashboard | All plans |

What the client sees afterwards
After installation, a user in the Hebrew sub-account logs in on your white-label domain and sees the sidebar on the right, in your colors, with Hebrew labels such as שיחות (Conversations), יומנים (Calendars) and אנשי קשר (Contacts). The header search box reads in Hebrew, and the main screens they use daily read from right to left. When they open a deep settings page or a builder, they see HighLevel’s own English text. You can click through the same thing yourself on our Hebrew language page, which shows a live Hebrew preview.
How does right-to-left layout work for Hebrew in the GoHighLevel dashboard?
A right-to-left (RTL) layout mirrors the page: the menu moves to the right, text aligns to the right and reading runs from right to left. A theme switches this on by setting the page direction to RTL and restyling the parts it controls. Parts that HighLevel draws without RTL support may keep some left-to-right behavior.
What mirrors and what does not
When the page direction is right-to-left, the browser itself flips a lot: text alignment, the order of items in a row, and the side where indents and scrollbars sit. A theme then fixes the parts HighLevel positions explicitly, such as the sidebar, the header and the sub-account switcher. HighLevel’s interface is not RTL-aware, so only the parts our theme restyles (the sidebar, header, buttons and inputs) mirror correctly. Complex inner screens such as large tables, the calendar grid and the builders may still read left to right in places.
The same gap exists in HighLevel’s customer-facing tools. A request on HighLevel’s ideas board asks to add full RTL support for forms, surveys and sites, noting that there is no built-in right-to-left orientation there at the time of writing. Hebrew text you type into a form or funnel displays as Hebrew, but alignment, field order and icons may need manual adjustment in each element’s settings or with page-level CSS.
Mixed Hebrew and English text
Hebrew business text is rarely pure Hebrew. Israeli messages are full of Latin-letter brand names, email addresses, website links, product codes and English tech words such as CRM, Zoom or WhatsApp. Browsers order mixed text with the Unicode bidirectional algorithm. Most of the time it works. When it does not, a period lands at the start of a sentence, a phone number shows its plus sign on the wrong side, or a parenthesis points the wrong way.
The W3C’s guide to inline markup and bidirectional text in HTML explains the cause and the fix: text whose direction is unknown, such as a name from a database, should be isolated so it cannot disturb the text around it, using the bdi element or dir="auto". You cannot change how HighLevel builds its pages, but you can apply the same idea in your own content:
- Put phone numbers, emails, links and order numbers on their own line in Hebrew SMS and email templates rather than in the middle of a sentence.
- Start a Hebrew sentence with a Hebrew word, not a brand name in Latin letters, so the line’s direction is detected as right-to-left.
- Read every template on a real phone before you approve it.
HighLevel users have reported this exact problem in the email builder. A request about RTL Arabic and Hebrew text in HighLevel’s email builder explains that right-aligning text does only half the job, because punctuation can still appear at the wrong end of a sentence. Plan time to check every Hebrew template visually, not just to translate it.
The W3C also keeps a set of Hebrew script resources that document how Hebrew should be laid out on the web and where browsers still fall short. It is written for developers of web standards, but it is a useful reference if you write your own CSS for Hebrew pages. Our guide to right-to-left HighLevel in Arabic covers the same mechanics from the Arabic side, and almost everything there about tables, pop-ups and date pickers applies to Hebrew too.
Which Hebrew words should the GoHighLevel menu use?
Use Modern Hebrew nouns for menu items, keep each label to one or two words, and rename the few items where your client’s industry uses a different word. Because Hebrew verbs are gendered, prefer nouns in the menu and agree on a neutral form for buttons with the client’s team.
Modern Hebrew is the everyday written language of business in Israel, so there is no dialect choice like the one Arabic agencies face. The decisions are about tone and grammar instead. Hebrew distinguishes masculine and feminine forms in verbs and many nouns, and software interfaces handle this in different ways: some use the masculine imperative (“save” addressed to one man), some use the infinitive, and some use plural or noun forms. For a menu, nouns avoid the question entirely: “Conversations”, “Calendars” and “Settings” are simply nouns. For buttons, ask the client which form their team is used to and keep it consistent.
The menu in Modern Hebrew
Here is how GHL Dashboard Builder’s built-in Hebrew pack names the main HighLevel menu items, with examples of industry renames you might choose instead.
| GoHighLevel (English) | Built-in Hebrew label | Possible industry rename | When to use the rename |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | לוח בקרה | דף הבית (Home) | Small teams who see it as the start page |
| Conversations | שיחות | הודעות (Messages) | Teams who think of WhatsApp and SMS as messages |
| Calendars | יומנים | תורים (Appointments) | Clinics, salons, studios |
| Contacts | אנשי קשר | מטופלים (Patients) or לקוחות (Clients) | Clinics; service firms |
| Opportunities | הזדמנויות | עסקאות (Deals) or נכסים (Properties) | Sales teams; real estate brokers |
| Payments | תשלומים | חשבוניות (Invoices) | Clients who only invoice |
| Automation | אוטומציה | Keep as is | Usually seen only by admins |
| Reporting | דוחות | Keep as is | Everyone recognizes it |
| Settings | הגדרות | Keep as is | Everyone recognizes it |
Some product names stay in English in the pack, such as Launchpad and AI Studio, because Israeli users commonly see those names in English and translating them would make support calls harder. You can change any of them.
How to choose the words with your client
- List the items each role uses. A front desk may need only Conversations, Calendars and Contacts. Hide the rest for that client so the menu stays short.
- Ask what they call each thing today. If a clinic says “מטופלים” in every meeting, the menu should too.
- Keep labels short. Hebrew is compact, but long labels still wrap in a narrow sidebar.
- Keep your support team in mind. If your staff do not read Hebrew, keep a two-column English and Hebrew map of the menu so they can guide the client on calls.
- Review with a native speaker on the client’s team before launch, not after.
The industry wording in our templates follows the same idea. The Clinic template renames Contacts to Patients and Opportunities to Treatments, and the Estate template renames Opportunities to Listings. You can give either set of renames Hebrew wording in the menu editor. Our guide to GoHighLevel dashboard customization explains how menu wording fits with colors, the sidebar and the welcome banner.
How should dates, numbers, shekels and the week appear for Israeli clients?
Israeli Hebrew uses Western digits, day-first dates written with periods, a 24-hour clock and the shekel sign after the amount. The working week starts on Sunday, and the weekend is Friday and Saturday. Set these expectations per client, because English-speaking staff in Israel often use slightly different formats.
What locale data says
Browsers and most software take number and date formats from the Unicode Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR), a shared database of how each language and country writes numbers, dates and currencies. We checked the Israeli locales in Node.js 22 with ICU 77.1, which ships CLDR version 47:
| Locale | Number 12,345.5 | Price 1,234.50 shekels | Short date, 5 November 2026 | Time, 2:30 pm | Week starts |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| he-IL (Hebrew, Israel) | 12,345.5 | 1,234.50 ₪ | 5.11.2026 | 14:30 | Sunday |
| en-IL (English, Israel) | 12,345.5 | ₪1,234.50 | 05/11/2026 | 14:30 | Sunday |
| ar-IL (Arabic, Israel) | ١٢٬٣٤٥٫٥ | ١٬٢٣٤٫٥٠ ₪ | ٥/١١/٢٠٢٦ | ١٤:٣٠ | Sunday |
| en-US (for comparison) | 12,345.5 | ₪1,234.50 | 11/5/26 | 2:30 PM | Sunday |
Three details matter in practice. First, Hebrew uses Western digits, so you do not face the digit question Arabic agencies do, but Arabic-speaking staff in Israel may see Arabic-Indic digits if their browser uses the ar-IL locale. Second, Hebrew places the shekel sign after the amount, while Israeli English places it before; pick one style per client and use it in every template. Third, the short date is day-first. An American-style date such as 11/5 means 11 May to an Israeli reader, which is how appointments get missed.
The Israeli week and the Hebrew calendar
The same CLDR data marks Sunday as the first day of the week in Israel and Friday and Saturday as the weekend. In practice, many Israeli businesses work Sunday to Thursday, close early on Friday and stay closed on Saturday. That affects three things in HighLevel:
- Calendar availability. Set each calendar’s open hours to the client’s real week, including short Friday hours, rather than copying a Monday-to-Friday template from an American client.
- Workflow timing. Wait steps and “send during business hours” settings should skip Saturday. A reminder that fires on Saturday morning can annoy religious customers.
- Reports. Weekly reports that start on Monday split an Israeli working week in two. Agree with the client which day a week starts in your reporting.
Business software in Israel uses the Gregorian calendar for appointments and invoices, but holidays follow the Hebrew calendar and move every Gregorian year. Browsers can format Hebrew dates: in our Node.js check, 5 November 2026 formats as כ״ה בחשוון תשפ״ז (25 Heshvan 5787). HighLevel’s calendars use Gregorian dates, so if a client wants Hebrew dates in confirmation messages, add them as text and check them against an official calendar. Before each holiday season, review the client’s calendar for closures.
What follows HighLevel’s settings
Invoices, payment links, products, reports and calendar pages are generated by HighLevel, so their currency and formats follow HighLevel’s own settings for the sub-account. In each Israeli client’s sub-account:
- Set the business address and time zone (Asia/Jerusalem) under Settings, Business Profile. Israel moves its clocks during the year, so check that reminders still fire at the right local time after each change.
- Set the currency to Israeli new shekels (ILS) in the payment settings so invoices and payment links do not show US dollars.
- Check the date format on a sample invoice and a booking confirmation, and adjust your templates if the client wants day-first dates written out.
The language and format choices in our builder shape its live preview and the menu, but a theme does not change how HighLevel formats an invoice. Our Israel market page lists the conventions and templates we suggest for Israeli clients.
What happens to Hebrew SMS, WhatsApp and email messages?
They work, but each channel has a catch. Hebrew SMS uses an encoding that fits fewer characters per segment, WhatsApp templates must be approved in Hebrew, and Hebrew emails need a right-to-left check because HighLevel’s email builder does not handle direction fully on its own.
SMS: fewer characters per segment
A normal SMS uses the GSM-7 character set, which covers Latin letters, digits and common symbols. Hebrew letters are not in it. As Twilio explains in its guide to UCS-2 encoding, a message with any character outside GSM-7 is sent as UCS-2, two bytes per character, which limits a single segment to 70 characters instead of 160. When a message is longer than one segment, each segment also carries a short header that tells the phone how to join the parts, which leaves 67 UCS-2 characters per segment, compared with 153 for GSM-7.
Any Hebrew letter, and most emoji, switch the whole message to UCS-2. Source: Twilio Docs: What is UCS-2 character encoding? (checked October 2026).
The practical effect: a Hebrew appointment reminder of 150 characters needs three segments (67 + 67 + 16), while 150 characters of plain English fit in one. If your SMS provider bills per segment, Hebrew reminders cost more. Two habits keep costs down:
- Write short Hebrew templates. A reminder needs the name, the time, the place and how to reschedule. Hebrew is already compact, so cut greetings that add length without information.
- Keep English messages free of stray emoji and curly quotes. One character outside GSM-7 switches an otherwise English message to UCS-2 as well.
Check how your provider counts segments before you set a client’s monthly message budget.
WhatsApp: approved templates per language
WhatsApp is the everyday messaging app for many Israeli businesses and their customers. Messages that start a conversation need pre-approved templates, and Meta’s list of supported languages for WhatsApp templates includes Hebrew with the code he. Each language version is its own template and is reviewed on its own.
For a bilingual client, create a Hebrew and an English version of each template, name them so your team can tell them apart, and pick the right one in each workflow based on a contact field such as preferred language. Do not rely on translating a message at send time; wording that was not approved will not go out.
Email: direction is your job
HighLevel’s email builder accepts Hebrew text, but as the ideas-board request above shows, aligning text to the right is not the same as setting its direction. For Hebrew emails:
- Build one Hebrew email template as a master and test it before copying it.
- Set text alignment to right on every text block, and check each block’s options for a direction setting.
- If you add custom HTML, set
dir="rtl"andlang="he"on the outer element. - Send a test to Gmail and Outlook on desktop and phone, and read the punctuation, links and numbers.
Which fonts work for Hebrew in a branded GoHighLevel?
Choose a font family that includes Hebrew letters, or pair a Hebrew font with your Latin brand font. Most Latin brand fonts have no Hebrew, so without a deliberate choice the browser falls back to a system font for every Hebrew word, and the menu looks inconsistent next to English labels.
Hebrew interface type is mostly sans-serif. Hebrew letters are square and sit on a strong baseline, and many letters differ only by a small detail, such as ד and ר or ה and ח. That makes weight and size more important than style. A clean sans-serif at a medium weight keeps those details readable in a narrow sidebar.
GHL Dashboard Builder offers four Hebrew-capable Google Fonts in the builder:
- Noto Sans Hebrew, a Hebrew-only face; pair it with your Latin brand font.
- Heebo, which includes both Hebrew and Latin letters.
- Assistant, which also includes both Hebrew and Latin letters.
- Rubik, which covers Latin, Hebrew and Arabic, useful for Israeli teams that work in all three.
Three checks before you approve a font:
- Size. Hebrew letters can look smaller than Latin capitals at the same font size. Increase the menu size slightly if labels look cramped.
- Weight. Thin weights blur the small strokes that tell letters apart. Avoid very light weights in the menu.
- Contrast. Check your sidebar text color against the sidebar background. The same accessibility standard Israeli clients may already know from their websites applies to their dashboard too; see the section on privacy and accessibility below.
Our guide to HighLevel custom CSS explains how fonts are loaded into HighLevel and how to keep a stylesheet maintainable if you write your own.
Should every client get Hebrew, or only some?
Usually only some. Israeli teams often mix Hebrew, English and Arabic: a Tel Aviv startup may run its sales in English, a family clinic in Haifa in Hebrew, and a business in Nazareth in Arabic and Hebrew. Give each client the menu language its team reads best, and pilot right-to-left on one friendly client first.
Reasons to treat clients differently:
- Team language. A clinic’s front desk may want Hebrew, while a tech company’s sales team prefers English because its tools are in English.
- Bilingual teams. Some clients want an English menu with Hebrew content, because staff learned software in English. Others want Hebrew labels but a left-to-right layout. Ask rather than assume.
- Arabic-speaking staff. Our Israel market page lists English and Arabic alongside Hebrew for a reason. For an Arabic-speaking team, an Arabic right-to-left menu may fit better than Hebrew.
- Different wording. A clinic needs patients and a broker needs properties; one Hebrew menu cannot say both.
- Pilots. Right-to-left changes how every screen looks. Test it with one client for a few weeks, collect the problems, and fix them before you offer it widely.
HighLevel’s Custom CSS and Custom JavaScript boxes sit at agency level, so by default whatever you paste applies across all sub-accounts. To give one client a Hebrew design, the theme must know which sub-accounts to target. GHL Dashboard Builder does this with an “Only these sub-accounts” option: you add the client’s sub-account by its link or Location ID, that sub-account gets the design, and every other sub-account and the agency view keep plain HighLevel. You still paste one install code.
Be precise about what one install covers. One design is shown in the chosen sub-accounts. Pro includes up to 3 designs and Agency up to 100. If you need different looks for different Israeli clients, for example Hebrew for one and Arabic for another, contact us and we will plan how to set that up. The details of targeting are on our single sub-account page.
How do you set up a Hebrew GoHighLevel dashboard, step by step?
Agree the scope with the client, prepare the sub-account settings, write the Hebrew content, design and install the theme, then test with the people who will use it. The steps below assume agency admin access and that your agency’s logo and domain are already set. Menu paths follow HighLevel’s help center at the time of writing.
Step 1: Agree the scope with the client
- Write down who logs in and which language each person reads best: Hebrew, English or Arabic.
- Agree in writing what will be Hebrew: the menu and navigation, all customer messages, forms and booking pages. Name what stays in English: some inner settings pages, the builders, system emails and the mobile app.
- Ask which date style, currency sign position and working week they expect, and which words they use for their customers and deals.
Step 2: Set up the sub-account
- Open the client’s sub-account and go to Settings, Business Profile.
- Enter the business name and address the way the client writes them, in Hebrew and English if they use both.
- Set the time zone to Asia/Jerusalem.
- Set the currency to ILS in the payment settings.
- Set each calendar’s availability to the client’s real week, including Friday hours.
- For users who also work in a HighLevel-supported language, set their Platform Language under Settings, My Profile.
Step 3: Write the Hebrew content
- Create the Hebrew SMS templates and keep each one as short as possible.
- Submit Hebrew WhatsApp templates for approval with the
helanguage code. - Build one Hebrew email template and test it in two mail apps.
- Translate forms, surveys and booking pages, and adjust alignment on each element.
- Add a contact field for preferred language and use it in workflows to pick the Hebrew or English version.
Step 4: Design and install the theme
- Open the free builder in Hebrew, choose a template, and set the client’s colors, logo and a Hebrew-capable font.
- Keep the direction on automatic, so the layout switches to right-to-left with the Hebrew language.
- Rename the menu items you agreed in Step 1 and hide the ones the client does not use.
- If only this client should get the Hebrew design, limit the design to their sub-account.
- In the agency view, open Settings, Company, Whitelabel and find the custom code area. Copy whatever is already in Custom CSS and Custom JavaScript into a text file as your rollback.
- Paste the theme’s CSS line and JavaScript line and save. HighLevel warns about third-party scripts; confirm only if you trust the code.
Step 5: Test like an office user
- Open the sub-account in a new tab and hard-refresh.
- Walk through the dashboard, conversations, calendars, contacts and the opportunities board.
- Type a Hebrew name with an English email address into a contact and look at how it displays.
- Open a pop-up, a date picker and a large table, and note anything that overlaps.
- Ask two staff members to use it for a morning and tell you which labels confuse them.
| Step | What you do | Typical owner | Done when |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Scope | Agree what is Hebrew and what stays English | Account manager | The client has it in writing |
| 2. Sub-account | Business profile, time zone, shekels, calendar week | Setup specialist | A test invoice and booking look right |
| 3. Content | SMS, WhatsApp, email, forms, booking pages | Hebrew copywriter | Every template is read on a phone |
| 4. Theme | Design, menu wording, install | Designer | The Hebrew menu shows on the right |
| 5. Testing | Daily screens, mixed text, pop-ups | Two client staff | No label confuses them |
What should agencies know about Israeli privacy and accessibility rules?
Two sets of rules shape how Israeli clients judge your platform: the Protection of Privacy Law, which was significantly amended in 2025, and accessibility regulations that require websites serving the public to meet the Israeli accessibility standard. A dashboard theme does not make anyone compliant, but it should not get in the way.
This section is background, not legal advice. Ask the client’s own lawyer about their obligations.
Privacy: Amendment 13
Israel’s Protection of Privacy Law dates from 1981. According to the law firm Pearl Cohen’s client update on Amendment 13, the amendment entered into force on 14 August 2025. It gives Israel’s Privacy Protection Authority new enforcement powers, including significant administrative fines, widens the definitions of personal data and processing, and requires some organizations to appoint a data protection officer. Israeli clients who hold customer data in HighLevel are more likely than before to ask where their data lives and who can see it.
For an agency, three practical habits follow:
- Limit who sees client data. Give your own staff only the sub-account access they need.
- Protect data on calls. Screen-shares and recorded walkthroughs are where customer names and phone numbers leak most easily. GHL Dashboard Builder’s privacy mode adds an eye button to HighLevel’s header that blurs contact names, emails, phone numbers, the conversation list and deal values while it is on; the privacy mode section of our features page shows how it works.
- Be accurate about the theme. The builder never connects to your HighLevel account, and the installed code changes styling and menu labels only and does not send data anywhere. You can tell an Israeli client exactly that.
Accessibility: the Israeli standard
Israel’s accessibility regulations for services, issued in 2013 under the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Law, require internet services offered to the public to meet Israeli Standard 5568, which is based on the W3C’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines at level AA, as the Bureau of Internet Accessibility’s overview of Israel’s digital accessibility laws explains. Israeli clients who have commissioned a website have often heard of it. The dashboard is an internal tool for their staff rather than a public website, but the same good habits apply: readable contrast, labels that make sense, no meaning carried by color alone. If you build Hebrew funnels or websites for Israeli clients in HighLevel, check the current edition of the standard with the client before launch.
What can go wrong, and what doesn’t a Hebrew theme solve?
Most problems come from mixed-direction text, untested inner screens and promises that went further than the setup. A theme changes how HighLevel’s menu and main screens look and read; it does not translate HighLevel’s own pages or your clients’ content, and it does not make HighLevel fully right-to-left.
| Problem | Why it happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Periods appear at the start of Hebrew sentences | Text is right-aligned but its direction is still left-to-right | Set direction, not just alignment; read every template on a phone |
| A phone number or link breaks the sentence order | Mixed Hebrew and Latin text in one line | Put numbers, emails and links on their own line |
| Some screens are still in English | HighLevel’s inner pages follow its Platform Language, which has no Hebrew yet | Explain this before the sale; follow HighLevel’s language updates |
| A table or pop-up overlaps after switching to right-to-left | HighLevel draws it without RTL support | Test the screens the client uses; report anything that blocks work |
| Hebrew SMS costs more than expected | UCS-2 fits 70 characters, or 67 per segment in long messages | Shorten templates; budget messages by segment |
| A WhatsApp template is not sent | The Hebrew version was not approved, or the wrong language code was used | Submit each language as its own template with the code he |
| Reminders go out on Saturday | Calendar and workflow hours copied from a Monday-to-Friday client | Set the Israeli week in every calendar and workflow |
| Dates are misread | Month-first dates in an American-style template | Use day-first dates in all Hebrew and Israeli English templates |
| Part of the theme looks wrong after an update | HighLevel changed a screen | Re-check after HighLevel releases; keep the previous code to roll back |
There are also limits no theme removes. HighLevel does not officially support custom code, so a platform update can require a theme refresh; Starter and Pro include 12 months of updates for this, and Agency includes lifetime updates. A theme works in the web browser; it does not change HighLevel’s mobile app, its system emails or its builders. The installed code does not change HighLevel’s login page yet; we design the login screen with you, and HighLevel’s own white-label settings handle the domain and logo there. And no menu translation makes up for poorly written Hebrew content: if the messages your client’s customers receive read like machine translation, the polished dashboard will not save the relationship. Budget for a native Hebrew writer, and see our FAQ for questions about installing, removing and data.
What to do next
- List your Israeli clients and, for each one, who logs in and which language they read best: Hebrew, English or Arabic. Decide between a Hebrew menu, an English menu with Hebrew content, or both.
- Write a one-paragraph scope for each client that says what will be Hebrew and what stays in English, and send it before you start.
- Fix the sub-account basics: Asia/Jerusalem time zone, shekels, day-first dates and calendars that follow the Sunday-to-Thursday week.
- Shorten your Hebrew SMS templates, submit Hebrew WhatsApp templates with the
hecode, and test one Hebrew email in two mail apps. - Try the client’s colors and a Hebrew menu in the builder, install on one sub-account first, and compare the plans when you are ready to roll it out.
