The setting in the Admin console will only set the language for base Appian itself. If you requirement is to provide translated User Interfaces in the language that the User is expecting then there's no magic wand here - you have to use a plug-in and build a translation framework.

This should help you get started: community.appian.com/.../load-resource-bundle

I have done that document based translation in key value pair by uploading properties file, loading by bundle and accessing by key through that bundle, but my concern is when i select from admin console as hebrew,  UI get aligned as, hebrew typing are from right to left, based on that , dropdown arrow , validation messages all are aligned from right to lefttherefore if someone has us lang that should be left to right vice versa

In the Admin console you can enable more than one language. Let's say you enable Hebrew and US English. Then which ever locale a user decides to choose for themselves then they'll get the correct alignment and (if you've built out the full set of key/value pairs and implemented the translation for every label) then they'll get the correct SAIL content as well. You can try this by switching your own user from one locale to the other.
