Urdu Support: Does OSX Lion support Finder/Mail/System Menus in Urdu?

Hello,
I have been trying to customize OSX Lion for a while, and while I find that it supports Urdu natively, there are a few hiccups:
I have set my System language to Urdu (Using the Languages & Text option in System Prefs)
I have set my Keyboard layout to Arabic (as the keyboard supports Arabic better, and they're closely related in script)
However, I have noticed that the System menus, Finder, Mail, etc are all still in English. Urdu is set as the only language, and English and other languages have all been disabled from System Prefs, and yet, the menus are all displayed in English only.
However, if I set Arabic as the first language, then all menus and even applications (an their respective menus) display in Arabic. I am beginning to believe that OSX Lion only partly supports Urdu. Is this true?

Yes, there is not yet any Urdu localization of the OS menus and dialogues.  Those languages for which this exists are listed directly in the published specs:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
Since Lion does provide a keyboard for Urdu, I would be interested in the details about why you prefer to use the Arabic one instead.
To ask Apple to add Urdu OS localization, go here:

  • Does Mountain Lion support trim for SSDs? ...

    I've been reading various forum posts and I find conflicting info. I did se several references to a tool called 'trim enabler.'
    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and installed a Samsung 830 SSD.
    System Report shows that trim is not enabled for the drive. Does Mountain Lion support trim for these drives? How important is it to enable it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Apple does not support the 3rd party drives.  To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
    http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
    I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
    the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
    Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly.  After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.

  • Is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

    is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

    No. But that only means it is a little harder and a few issues to work around. No one knows when but it could happen when 8 is posted to buy 10/25/2012, or after. And it may be that they somehow figure whether to provide for Lion or only ML.
    Odd concept as to what Macs support Windows 8 but are not supported by 10.8.

    If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
    System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
    You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
    Sorry I can't help more.........

  • Does Mountain Lion support Word 2008?

    Does Mountain Lion support MicroSoft Word 2008?

    I had completely uninstalled Office '08 on my old computer running Snow Leopard and had already made the switch to Office '11 when I got my new MBP with Lion. Since I used Setup Assistant, everything migrated well and I've had no trouble with ML and '11.
    However, if you visit the MS Office for Mac user forums you will note that many users of '08 - and Word '08 in particular - are/were having problems with Lion and, now, with ML. I would suggest that your wife just customize '11 to her liking - shortcuts can always be modified (well, most of the time).
    There are instructions on how to completely uninstall '08 here.

    Apple has been known to make changes between the GM and public releases. It's rare, but it has happened. In addition, RoaringApps also does not test these apps themselves; they rely on user reports which may or may not be accurate or current. So while RA is a useful guide, it's not definitive. Only the app's developer should be relied upon for official information on compatibility.
    We should not discuss the GM release here, by the way, since that's still under NDA.

    Realize that people that aren't having problems tend not to "brag" that they're doing fine.  Those that are having problems are usually very vocal.  So a lot of the "bad reviews" may just be those that had a problem, not necessarily the real experience of the millions of people that are doing just fine.
    ...and I'm afraid to download it and my computer is 2009, yours runs smoothly?
    I'm running Lion fine on my 2008 MBP (4,1. 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB) and late 2009 Mini (2.0GHz C2D, 8GB.)  Minimum RAM for Lion is 2GB, but IMHO you really want 4GB.  If you have a lot of apps open (or have demanding apps like Photoshop,) then get more RAM if you machine can handle it.
    Also, make sure the rest of your apps or drivers are up to date before upgrading.  Incompatible drivers for things like printers and such are what I've found to cause a lot of stability problems.

  • Why OSX Lion supports Lao, Khmer, Myanmar, but not Thai???

    Quoted from the Apple's OSX Lion - over 250 new features - web,
    " Expanded language support
    Twenty new font families for document and web display of text provide support for the most common languages in the Indian subcontinent, including Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Oriya, Sinhala and Telugu. Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Urdu and Tamil have been expanded. And three new font families support Lao, Khmer and Myanmar. "
    Lao, Khmer, and Myanmar, but not Thai??  Come on, seriously, you guys in Cupertino...  No offense but Macs are sold more in Bangkok alone than those three countries combined !  not to mention iPhones, iPads, and lots of apps from App Store!  Normally we've been getting along with English-based version, but now don't cram those three while leaving out Thai.  Please don't let everyone here start thinking about discrimination agains one nation (it's pretty clear if you look on the map).  Please, seriously consider adding another one, even as a patch.
    Thanks.

    Thai support so far has limited extents; namely word-wrap particularly in Pages, grammatically checking, etc. 
    I don't remember seeing any complaints about Thai word breaking in these forums before.  OS X does include a special dictionary to try to regulate that.  See this note:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1180
    I suggest you send Apple feedback with details about improvements you would like to see in that:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Does Office for Mac have a word-breaking dictionary for Thai?  My impression is No.  I think it is mainly for that reason that Office for Mac does not even include Thai on the list of input languages it officially supports, which is listed in the Help for that app.

  • OSX Lion support

    Are there any plans to support the Blackberry Curve 8530 under OSX Lion (ver 10.7)?
    The current version of Verizon Access Manager does not work with this version of the OS.  It would be nice to know if/when Verizon and/or Smith Micro plans to catch up with Apple.  Heck, the dev tools have been out there for a year.
    Thanks in advance.
