Hi fastwings,
sorry, you will need to provide far more information than that so anybody can help you.

Sorry to hear. What is your sound card? What does alsaconf detect? What distribution are you using? What's the version of the kernel you are using?

What part of the system is or is not in Hebrew? Did you at any point in the install select Hebrew as the system language? What is your distribution?

Please always provide as much relevant information as you possibly can.
And please don't use offensive language. This is a technical forum, we are about facts, not emotions. People will not feel any more contempted to help you when they feel insulted. We are volunteers, make us feel good if you want help.
Also, please phrase your questions as clearly as possible. There are many non-native English speakers in this forum, who have problems understanding English. I realize you probably have similar problems. All the more reason to try hard to be clear. A first step would be to separate sentences.

I hope we will be able to help you,

I have the same sound card (I think) - the way I have always gotten it working on this laptop is to go to the Alsa website and get and install the latest drivers. It always works then.

The language selection at install time only works for the command line. Once you have a GUI set up, you have to then reselect the language options from within that GUI. If you tell us the GUI you are using we may be able to tell you how to do that.

Hi fastwings,
the hebrew language support code for KDE and Gnomecan be found in the Slackware package repositories. Look for it at the Package Browser.
The package for KDE internationalisation for example is this one:
http://www.slackware.org/pb/download...3.2.3-noarch-1
(A little explanation for your understanding: i18n is short for internationalisation, and he is the language code for hebrew (I hope))
Slackware does not seem to be shipping Gnome i18n packages at this time so you will have to look for them some place else. (I could not find any in the three minutes I spent on it. I wish you some better luck.)
also, make sure you configured your system to actually use Hebrew. See what echo $LANG returns (this environment variable sets the language you want to use on the terminal); set it with export LANG= (try hebrew or he or something. Neither worked for me but I don't think I have Hebrew language files installed). The desktop environments have their own tools for setting the language they use.

On the sound issue: Do you know which motherboard you have? it is usually possible to find out the sound chip when you know the model. Unfortunately it is possible that the driver for the sound card might be rather hard to configure. You stand a good chance it will work though. If you intend to further investigate the problem (which I highly recommend), you might want to look into using OSS instead of ALSA for sound.

Sorry, I am running out of time. Please post any further information you find out.
