use polyglot package for Named Entity Recognition in hebrew

I am trying to use the polyglot package for Named Entity Recognition in hebrew.
this is my code:

# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
import polyglot
from polyglot.text import Text, Word
from polyglot.downloader import downloader
downloader.download("embeddings2.iw")
text = Text(u"in france and in germany")
print(type(text))
text2 = Text(u"נסעתי מירושלים לתל אביב")
print(type(text2))
print(text.entities)
print(text2.entities)

this is the output:

<class 'polyglot.text.Text'>
<class 'polyglot.text.Text'>
[I-LOC([u'france']), I-LOC([u'germany'])]

ValueError: Package u'embeddings2.iw' not found in index

The english worked but not the hebrew.
Whether I try to download the package u'embeddings2.iw' or not I get:

ValueError: Package u'embeddings2.iw' not found in index

I got it!
It seems like a bug to me.
The language detection defined the language as 'iw' which is the The former ISO 639 language code for Hebrew, and was changed to 'he'. The text.entities did not recognize the iw code, so i changes it like so:

text2.hint_language_code = 'he'
