[Q]Supporting Arabic and Hebrew characters - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Persian Keys Show Up as Boxes on SIP

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.

Change HTC Keyboard language

Hi Everybody,
I got a UK/O2 Leo the other day and I am having a problem writing in my native language, greek. I have changed Manilla (using a reg entry) to appear in greek (mainly for the contacts index), yet the HTC keyboard doesn't seem to support greek at all. Is there any way to add more languages to the HTC keyboard or am I forced to use a 3rd party app?
Thanks in advance

"teaching" the HTC keyboard extra languages

I am using the HTC keyboad (HTC_IME.apk) on Cyanogen 4.2.12 and am quite pleased with this keyboard.
However, as I daily switch between English, Dutch and German I would love the autocorrect function to support all these languages (at the same time).
I have noticed that the HTC keyboard saves unknown words in its English autocorrect library when they are not in there already. So, by typing in other languages while having english language correction on I slowly "teach" the HTC keyboard my other languages.
Now my question is, can I speed up this process by copying the the dutch and german dictionary of the Android system to the autocorrect library of HTC? If so, I would be very happy to learn how that is done.

Native Arabic Support for 6.5.X ROMs

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!

RTL support for WinMo

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?
