Questions:
.
Are you referring to "Merging"/"Combining" two individuals/person?
▬ One with the "Name" in "English"; and,
▬ the Other with the "Name" in "Hebrew"
.
[ in the former case, personally, I would "Retain" the individual/person whose "Birth" Name corresponds to the Language of their "Birth: as the "Surviving" individual/person; and, ensure that the OTHER "Name" be an "Alternate Name" ]
.
Or, are you referring to two "Records" in "Search" (Records) of 'FamilySearch' that are the SAME "Event" for the SAME individual/person; but, where one Records is written in "English"; and, the other Record is written in "Hebrew".
.
[ in the latter case, personally, I would attached BOTH Records (ie. "Sources"), separately, for the same event; certainly NOT, "Merge"/"Combine" the Records ]

I unfortunately didn't make note of who. OK. I will follow your suggestions.

I've never worked with none Roman languages. My first thought is to change your language to Hebrew, but it's not offered. I used Google translate and it changed all the names I typed in to Hebrew characters. Will that help solve your problem?

I think I have found Hebrew. Go to the bottom of any FamilySearch page and you'll see a globe with a language next to it. Mine is set for English. I click on English and a menu appears allowing me to change languages. I'm assuming it will still say English when you go to change back. If not, you'll have to look up the Hebrew translation. (Long time ago I ran into that problem when I switched to Mandarin but it looks like they've fixed that.)
