The problem is that you are trying to translate the text input’s HINT instead of its TEXT:

You’ve also set the Text to Speech property to ENGLISH\_US but it needs to be HEBREW for this to work:

I recommend posting your issue on the forums _before_ filing a bug report because often there is a simple fix and in this case, it’s not actually a bug.

Explain what you’ve tried and what’s still working. It worked fine for me. Can you provide a link to an updated project?
