Sorin,

That's most likely your issue.  The ANSI strings are getting converted to
Unicode strings using the current system locale when you use
MyStringField.AsString (or any data-bound control does the same).

What you should use is the MyStringField.AsAnsiString property, then convert
the result to Unicode manually using the proper locale, and then assign it
directly to the control (don't have the control be data-bound).

You can use this to convert the string:

type
 HebrewString = type Ansistring(1255);

function EnglishToHebrew(const Value: AnsiString): String;
begin
   Result:=HebrewString(Value);
end;

(I didn't test the above, but it should work)
