DIsplaying arabic text on UI

I need to know how can we set the localization for any device so that it can display text in arabic without the use of unicodes.
Actually currently i read unicodes & then display the arabic data. I want that these unicodes should not be used so that when i read arabic data from any server i display them on the UI as it is.
Please let me know if this is possible. If not please provide me with some solution.
Thanks in advance...

For properties files you don't actually have a choice, they support only 8859-1 (this is probably the most commonly asked question on this forum).
Having the characters represented as ASCII escaped Unicode does not mean that you cannot read the files, however. A number of editors render them just fine. For instance, UniRed and SC Unipad.

At the database level when i select the xml col to dispaly the document, arabic texts are displayed correctly (DB is set to 1256), however when trying to display the text on html it gives me junk values. XSL sheet's encoding is set to windows-1256. M using Jdeveloper 1012 and BC4J frame work in my application.
How do i solve this problem.?
P.S.it wud b great if u support ur answer with examples .

You have to do it yourself - I don't have a ready solution. Just look into documentation how StyleSheets are used and see what properties work best for you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/TextField.html
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/text/StyleSheet.html
Also, with embedded fonts you need to play with TextFormat settings and AntiAliasType

In addition, on my machine even if I don't emebed fonts - Arabic works in Arial, TImes and others.

Problem in displaying Arabic text in flash cs3/cs4

Hi All, I'm creating one website. I have to display dynamic xmlize arabic text in flash. I have done it using flash cs3/AS3. But problem is that when text displays in flash it is not rendering as expected. Some gaps comes in the characters. But when I open my xml in browser, arabic text displays correct.
Is there any way to do it in flash cs3 or Flash cs4 using player 9? It would be really great if anyone can give me solution on this. Thanks

Display arabic text in Tablemodel

Hi all,
i have to show some arabic text (in UTF-8) in my TableModel, but i only get boxes (not ????).
When I check the popup box, setting my mouse over the row, i can see the text correctly.
Also, using debug, i can see that the string contains arabic text.
Is there any option i must activate to see it in my table?

You will need to set the Font for the renderer to one that has glyphs for Arabic characters. On my Linux system there are a whole load of fonts that seem to work. A small subset is
"Arab","Cortoba" and "Courier New"

Arabic text displayed incorrectly on sites!

Arabic text characters are all connected one to another in a word, but FireFox displays the letters right, except they are disconnected and each letter is on its own, making it very difficult if not impossible to read.
What I used to do in the past is, pages that contain Arabic Text for me such as Facebook, I used to install IETAB2 and set facebook to always open with IETAB and then the text would display correctly.
The strange thing is, if you use IE, it would display the same garbage isolated Arabic letters, but the IETAB with IE7 emulation works like a charm.
With that said, recently, FF stopped displaying arabic text correctly even with IETAB2
But Google Chrome always works like a charm without the need for anything.
I have tried changing the encoding on the site but that doesn't help
Can anyone suggest anything please?
Google Chrome, Correct display of Arabic Text:

FireFox with IETAB or without, same result:
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/8855/firefoxlh.png
Anything other than UTF-8 will just display as jibberish.
But the problem with UTF-8 is that the Arabic letters are not linked one to the other, each one is seperated, makeing it very difficult to read.
What's even weirder is, I checked with Chrome, which displays Arabic Text just fine, and it is also using the UTF-8 encoding but it works!? Please help as I don't want to use Chrome :(

The point is to see if disabling that setting temporarily and selecting some other fonts makes a difference.<br />
It is possible that the Lucida Grande font that you have isn't working properly.

Support for Arabic text and Direction:rtl

I am using HTML/CSS/Javascript to develop my application.
I have been trying to get direction:rtl (right to left) to
work to display Arabic text in the right form with no luck.
Does Adobe AIR lack the support for this feature ? If so,
what are the alternatives to Adobe AIR ??
I hope one of the Adobe employees reply to this....

Arabic Text in TextInput in Flash Builder 4.5.1

Hello,
I am currently developing a mobile application that is supposed to work on both Android and iOS devices. I am supposed to display arabic text and also to take arabic text input from the user. While I was trying to display simple output and input components I faced a problem with the TextInput. Please note the following:
-The TextInput component displays the arabic text in reversed order and the characters are disjoint.
-The label component does not have this problem and it accepts and displays the arabic text correctly.
-An embedded font was added
-The problem exists on both IPad and Galaxy Tab however the IPad displays the text correctly while typing (before loosing the focus on the TextInput). On the other hand, the Galaxy Tab displays the text in a wrong way both while typing and on focus out. However, the suggested words (above the keyboard in the Galaxy tab) are shown correctly.
Please check the snapshots below.
From Ipad:
Thank you.

Here's the solution:
The problem did not exist on an installation of Flash Builder on a spare MacBookPro.
On my main computer (the one with the Flash Builder issue) I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash Builder 4.5 (then updated to 4.5.1). Creating an iOS Mobile Application now creates the correct code.
I have no idea why it was creating dodgy code.
The only difference with the new Flash Builder install is that SourceMate 3.0 is not installed yet. Perhaps something had gone wrong in the Adobe Updater when going from 4.5 to 4.5.1, who know...all speculation...anyhow it works now!

English to Arabic Text

Hi, How do you simply display Arabic text in ILL CS3. I'm Using a Mac 10.5.6.
The text has been supplied correctly as outlines in Arabic, but I want to reflow the sentences, and would like to make these changes.
When I open the file that hasn't been converted to outlines, the text is gibberish.
Any help would be appreciated, as to how I can display the Arabic text correctly.
Thanks, Steven

To handle Arabic, you need to use Middle Eastern editions of Adobe software, such as Illustrator CS4-ME. Arabic is a script based language where each character charges its form depending upon the position within the word. If you import Arabic and place in English Illustrator, it will incorrectly reverse the characters, and not join them.
see http://www.fontworld.com/me/illustratorme.html

Arabic text not displaying correctly in Win Server 2008 R2

Hi,
We have an .mdb database stored on our Windows Server 2008 R2 server but when we view the contents some of the text has strange characters.
When we view the same db in Windows Server 2003 we do not have these characters. I'm not sure what exactly we need to do to correct this issue..
Any suggestions welcome..

Hi,
Thanks for your post.
When you open a Web page or a text file that contains a string of Arabic characters, the string is not displayed correctly. This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
The Left-to-Right Override (LRO) Unicode control character is used in the string of Arabic characters.
You specify a font that is not Simplified Arabic Fixed.
Please apply the hotfix below:
Incorrectly displayed Arabic characters in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
https://support2.microsoft.com/kb/976525?wa=wsignin1.0
And check the result.

Problems with displaying dynamic Arabic text

We have a problem with a navigation system we are building
which has to be able to display dynamic Arabic text. We are pulling
in the Arabic text using XML. The problem we are having is that the
character are not displaying joined up where they should be (for
instance in the middle of words). Arabic characters have different
shaping according to the position they take up within a word. What
we are producing is apparently unreadable. Has anyone come accross
this problem before? Is it solveable?

Hi:
Is there any possible chance that Adobe would do something to asist us Fl8 users with international character support.
Everyone has some work-around, except Abode, and they are all usually related to XML.
My setup is PHP (CMS supporting many languages) -> MySQL -> PHP -> Flash8 (Dynamic Text Fields) and the olpart that does not work is when I inject an extended character into the string - Flash stops displaying anything from that character on.
If Adobe has or did have some component / solution or anything other than the usual System.useCodePage = true (which never seems to actually work), please let me know.
Best Regards,
