a fund is a "קרן". foundation is "מוסד".
foundation is more close to the word "יסודות".
I initially used "קרן", but the fund argument convinced me.

seems you're right.
both can be possible, but your translation seems more correct.
that's what happens when the same person is translating and editing the 
same page.
I'll make sure someone else will edit the page and fix it.
thanx!

That's a point we're still checking. we plan to move to language names 
in they're native characters, which will use the english order (since 
there is no standard way to arrange them). In case the native characters 
issue won't be resolved by august, we'll move to hebrew order.

It should be a link to the hebrew version of the page, if such exists, 
just like any page on the translated GNU site.
The english version should be available through a language link on the 
translated page.
Since the FSF page is the GNU page, it should lead to the translated 
page (or alternatively, not being a link).
That seems to explain the current situation. tell me if you disagree.
