This is what I found on Novell's site.

"If different code pages are to exist on different workstations, it may be
advisable to select NetWare filename format, so that the server does not try to
remap any characters in the hexadecimal 80 to FF range."

For more information, see DOS vs. NetWare filename format

Also, when installing the Y2K patches, Novell recommends that ALL current
patches are loaded prior to the Y2K update.

I can't comment on Hebrew names vs English names, but I can say that
getting and installing ALL the latest patches for 3.12 will be the
easiest way to see if Novell has fixed a problem that is causing it.  It
is also prerequisite to any help Novell will offer.  If I were you, I'd
get the latest patches and see what happens.

Sorry I couldn't offer more specific help.   :o)
