Hi,
I need help in displaying RTL languages (Arabic/Urdu/Hebrew etc) correctly in Windows Mobile.
I am not looking for help in writing a program. All I need is be able to read RTL text correctly e.g be able to read SMS that contains mixed LTR and RTL text.
I have installed Arial Unicode font that has Arabic characters and now I am able to see individual Arabic characters (which were earlier displayed as boxes) but they are not joined and they are in LTR direction.
Any solutions?

I've tried using Pocket CM (and other keyboards), but whenever I have a keyboard that has persian or arabic letters those letters show up as boxes. I could type these characters in word as long as I changed the font to one that supported persian characters (Times New Roman). I have tried changing the system font to Times New Roman but that has not helped. Any help is appreciated.
Hey Guys,
I know Mobidiv has a great app to enable Arabic support for WM devices, but it only supports Arabic, and does not have the alphabets for Urdu or Persian. I heard before that the official 6.5.X ROM release will have full arabic support, but its not fully functional in the present beta leaks. We can see the alphabets but they have breaks after every alphabet and also are not set in the right to left format as are all of these languages written! maybe a registry tweak can take care of this problem! any one know where to start?
I once saw an earlier build of Mobidiv which had an accompanying "remove spaces from alphabets fix" cab file, maybe that can help us?! I'll search and update here if I get hold of it... in the mean time any input is welcome!
Hi, I know this should be under another section, but I got no privileges to post anywhere in the develoment sections.
So, my problem is : I don't really know how android os organizing it's fonts, and how it finds the right one for he right language, but I strongly need multiple language support (namely some arabic-variants scripts : urdu, pashto, farsi) and some asian ones (thai, lao, chinese)
arabic and farsi support is no problem (well .. almost) with my spike cyanogen rom, thai and chinese neither. I've got a pashto softkeyboard, as well as an urdu one, and even a lao one, got fonts that cover those scripts as well, now : where should I put those fonts ? I see on my /system/fonts DroidSansThai, DroidSansArabic etc .. so I suppose (noob inside ..) the file names are relevant, problem is pushing a font with for examle DroidSansUrdu doesn't solve anything.
or shoud I get arial unicode as huge as it is as the DroidSans font ? (bothers me a bit as I'd like to be able to use more beautiful fonts).
another question, related, is : on my farsi keyboard I can add the vocalization (short vowels), but not not on the arabic one ??? anyone has a clue about that ?
thanks.
Hi,
One of the major things that bugged me in my WP7 trophy is rendering arabic text from left to right (like viewing Facebook).
Is this problem tackled in 7220 update?
It is really wired that Hebrew and Arabic support (generally RTL languages) are ignored so far.
Hi there!
First of all, thanks a lot for the GREAT application. :good:
The only thing I missing so far is the support for unicode characters (in my case Lithuanian, like ą, č, ę, ė, į, š, ų, ū, ž) in Tile Name. I simply cannot input them - nothing happens. If support for accented letters in version 0.9.8 means unicode, then I probably missing something and need an advise.
Best regards!
