I see your point, and can only think of two reasons not to:
1] The user may have already customized the tag and its regexp for some
other string for Hebrew documents (maybe something like נ.ב.).
2] The user may have decided on a language neutral section tag, maybe a
string of "=" or "━".
My guess, though, is that you're correct, because most emacs users who
write Hebrew footnotes will also be writing לע"ז and would welcome
the auto-switch. I'll let you make the final decision, and will code it
into the Hebrew functions.

I've been trying that now, but can't reproduce it in a clean `emacs -Q'.
The specific company mode is `company-dabbrev'. More homework ...
