HT4637 Hi, does it support Arabic language; text and numerals?

I have just purchased a macbook pro, first time to switch from a PC. I am really impressed wirh the overall experience of my new powerhouse with one MAJOR drawback; the Arabic Text and numeral support within the microsoft office package of applicatIons. I tried the openoffice package, and althought it partially solved the problem, yet I still suffer from compatability issues, be it with old microsoft office files that I already have or even newly created ones. So i figured maybe I should turn to Apple's native software packages,since I know that the laptop itself supports Arabic, so then maybe the problem would be inherant to the microsoft for Mac. Can anyone help me whether this assumption is true or not, and which spread sheet and text editor software should I choose to have full and compatible support for Arabic text and numerals typing. Thx

No version of MS Word for OS X has ever supported Arabic.
Unfortunately Apple's iWork apps also have bugs that make them unsuitable for Arabic for most people.
The best text editor is Mellel, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and OpenOffice normally work OK.
As for compatibility with Windows stuff, perfection sometimes just not possible, and if you really need that, you may need to run Windows on your Mac.

  • Why does not it support Arabic language for Pages?

    I would like to buy (Pages) but unfotunately it does not support Arabic language

    Use a different app like everyone else does.  Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, Open/Neo/LibreOffice should also work.  MS Word for Mac does not.

  • Lumai 800 support Arabic language?

    Hi, please tell does Lumai 800 support Arabic language? and it will get Windows8? thanks

    Hi ProMediaPress,
    Don't quote me exactly on this, but you may be able to download extra languages from within the Settings themselves. I have a Windows Phone 8 device myself, but am unsure if this was already available on WP 7.5 devices. And no, WP 7 and 7.5 devices will not receive Windows 8, but rather an updated version named 7.8.

  • Does Robohelp HTML V 7.02.001 support Arabic language to generate context sensitive help

    Kindly let us know URGENTLY if RoboHelp 7.02.001 supports Arabic language to generate context sensitive help in Arabic. If RoboHelp does not support, let us know if there is any other workaround solution or third party integration tool that may help us to generate Arabic help files.

    The supported languages are listed in the help file, they do not include right to left languages.
    There are no tools that I know of but last week there was a post that might interest you.

  • TA24603 Does the apple tv support Arabic language

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I was wondering to know if the apple TV support Arabic language.

    Send Apple some feedback.
    This limitation is bizarre in my view, as is the automatic resampling to 48 kHz which ATV 1 never did.

  • Will Adobe flex support Arabic language on Mac OS

    Hi,
    We have developed a webapplication using Adobe Flex SDK 3.2. the content in the application is in arabic language. Unfortunately the arabic language is unreadable if viewed on Mac Os. but the same arabic language/text is perfect and accurate if viewed in Windows OS. kindly help us in finding a solution.
    What we need is the arabic text should be accurate and readable if viewed in Mac OS.
    Thankyou
    regards
    sandeep

    The legacy TextField class in Flash Player -- which is the basis for all text display in Flex 3 components -- does not properly support right-to-left or bidirectional languages such as Arabic. However, the newer Flash Text Engine (FTE) APIs in Player 10, and the Text Layout Framework (TLF) library that is built on top of FTE, support bidirectional text.
    If you use Flex 3.X you will have to write directly to the FTE or TLF APIs. If you use Flex 4.X, you can just use the Spark component set, which use FTE/TLF for text display. The MX components in Flex 4 still use TextField by default but can be configured to use FTE/TLF.

    I actually published an interactive Arabic textbook with iBooks Author - there were a lot of annoying formatting bugs, and more of it was in english than Arabic, as it was for beginners. I submitted it to see how much interest there was for doing more in Arabic, but I haven't had much demand so far.
    check it out if you like:

    there are a couple mistakes that I am aware of, and will update for the latest version, but if you see anything else, feel free to let me know.

  • How can i make my photoshop support arabic language

    How can i make my photoshop support arabic language?

    You can swtich your Mac to view in Arabic by going to the Language & Text system preferences and then dragging Arabic to the top of the list. If Arabic is not in the list, then click the "Edit List..." button to enable it.
    This will make any program that is localized to Arabic appear in Arabic.
    Next, go to the Region section of these preferences and choose the one that best suits your needs. If you click the Show all regions checkbox then you will have options in this menu to view all Arabic regions as a submenu.
    Finally, go to the Input Sources section, where you can check various Arabic keyboard layouts to enable them. Then check the "Show Input menu in menu bar" option at the bottom of the window, which will place a small menu extra to the right of your system menu bar at the top of your screen.
    In this menu, you can select the enabled Arabic layouts, to use them if and when needed.
