We loaded it onto the computer and now I can't figure out how to make it so that the entire thing is in Hebrew. When I do footnotes, it has to be adjusted again to be in Hebrew. When I save, the file doesn't save into Hebrew, only English. When I try to change the entire computer to Hebrew language, it still doesn't work to be entirely Hebrew. it doesn't recognize Hebrew file names. Is there some trick I'm missing?

I used it years ago. I don't know about file name but the rest could probably be set in the preferences somewhere. The same way you can adjust the default to be right aligned instead of left

Don't have Davka but found this answer which may explain the file names thing.

From here :

https://davkawriter.com/pages/faqs-errors

Why do I get an “invalid path” error when I try to open a file with Hebrew letters in the filename in DavkaWriter?

In Windows XP, Vista, and 7, DavkaWriter can use Hebrew filenames only if Windows’ Hebrew language support is fully installed and the “default locale for non-Unicode programs” is set to Hebrew.

Here are links for instructions to set up Windows’ Hebrew language support:
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Windows 7

Make sure to follow the last step to change the system locale, or Hebrew filenames will not work.
