We have a lot of non-english books actually: https://www.gitbook.com/explore, over a thousand in chinese alone. In the upcoming 2.0.0 release, we've further improved internationalisation: https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook/tree/master/theme/i18n We automatically detect your book's language (or you can specify itself) and so then the build chain can automatically use translations for menu entries etc ... if available in your language.

Will Hebrew also be supported? With vowel points?

I could simulate such letters with icons but I wonder if they look acceptable on different devices (iOS, kindle etc.)

My mother-tongue is Greek. I can imagine it's not your top priority. I will test the waters hopefully somewhere before summer :-)

Thanks for the reply.
