Subject: Dual language display?Quote this post in your reply
Hello,

purpose of software use: To create a language course.
problem: displaying/editing Arabic in an English interface.
environment: Apache 1.3.27 PHP.2.3, MySQL 3.23.39 on WinXpPro. Running on a local server with no known problems. ATutor installed successfully with no problems.

On creating a top level page with a title that had both words in English and Arabic [ i wrote the word Dialogue / 'then the same word again in Arabic'], the following resulted. I placed some arabic content as well.
:
The html title on the very top bar displayed correctly as did the breadcrumb, main heading and content. The links under local menu/global menu did not. It dispalyed the English and then 'ا... '

Also, on wanting to further edit the content, the previously entered Arabic returned as:

title: Dialogue / الحِ

and in body:
المدرس : كيف حالك ؟

I have some screenshots if needed.

Many Thanks.

Farid.

I would think using style sheet properties to arrange rtl languages might be the most effective means of presenting Arabic in an English interface.

Content within a page can be wrapped in a block level element such as a paragraph, then the style within that element set the direction to rtl, like so:

<p style="direction:rtl;">some arabic text</p>
