I fixed this. You simply need to uncomment "id" language in newest code 
I18n.init() function.

Your language is one of the special languages, where Java code and the 
newer language codes don't match. I added workaround code for this case.

Thanks to your report I could also fix the other case (Hebrew) which is 
the other language with same problem.
