Unhappy Help solve Hebrew captcha (walla.com)

Haven't been able to log into Walla.com since they added hebrew captcha. I have really important documents which i need to access. Please help me translating it to English.

I believe you would have a better chance by contacting and requesting them for an English version of their captcha, rather than asking here for assistance.

As far as I know they don't have an English captcha option

If that is a site that is also used by English language speaking/reading/writing/using people, and the site owner(s) want to provide access to such people, there should be.

The reason for Hebrew captcha is following: some time ago Walla was under attach of hackers from Arab countries. As result of this, Walla implemented very simple and powerful defense: Hebrew captcha. Not many people in Arab countries know Hebrew, probably we are talking about hundreds, may be, thousands (in best case). Generally, few people in all the World know Hebrew (except Jews, of course). So, when somebody from non-Israeli IP address is trying to access walla email account, Hebrew captcha is invoked.
It is similar to Navajo Code that was used by Americans on Pacific during WW2.

IMO, a poor choice of defense tactics by Walla. But if it works for them to their satisfaction, good for them.

I used to have a Walla account (and of course I know Hebrew... ) and I can definitely say that there are much better ones.
So why should a non-Hebrew speaker insist on using Walla?

For me it'd be a good exercise for my Hebrew studies (and people like me, non Jewish but studying Hebrew, are an example that there's more people in the world outside of the Jewish community who can read/write Hebrew ... so indeed, if this is the defense strategy I would guess there are better ones)

My email accounts contain valuable stuff.
I wouldn't dream putting this stuff in an account which might be unreachable for me. (Btw, that's one of the reasons why I use premium accounts)
Your reasons, Tsunami, for using Walla are completely different and I respect it.

I don't use Walla as yet but have considered it. Of course the question is how much using it would actually help to improve my Hebrew knowledge.

I guess having stuff in an account that would be unreachable is a concern only when the account is unreachable, which won't be the case for anyone who knows how to read Hebrew. It would be a bit odd for non-Hebrew speakers (or students) indeed, but then a lot of folks on this forum like to experiment with "exotic" services ... Mail.ru for example has many users who don't read Cyrillic alphabet fluently.
