Change FORM Direction ?

alhakeem2001,

if your db is utf-8 then you should use utf-8 charset in arabic.php in both store side, and admin side, do not use windows-1256

but, I m still not sure your db format is utf-8.

open your db using phpmyadmin, check db default coolect type? , open the table "category descriptions", and click structure, what is the collection types, is it utf-8 general?

yet one more point, I am not sure, but I think this might has an effect:

the language files are saved in ASNI encoding, not in utf-8 encoding, do the following for both:

1. open new blank txt file.
2. File -> save as.. , chang encoding type to utf-8
3. save this blank txt document.
4. rename this text file to arabic.php, are you sure (yes)
5. in the arabic language pack, open includes/languages/arabic.php
6. select all text, then copy.
7. paste it in the blank utf-8 encoding arabic.php file, and then save.
8. do the same thing for admin/includes/languages/arabic.php file
9. in both files, open, chang

define('CHARSET', 'windows-1256');
to
define('CHARSET', 'utf-8');

and save

uplaod these 2 files to their right locations (overwrite existing)

I have prepared the 2 files for you, they are attached.

after upload, do the following:
1. login to your admin area.
2. select arabic language from language selection drop-down menu.
3. go to catalog -> Categories/Products
4. click e sign and re-type category name, and save.
