Take a look at the i18n sample in Cocoon 2.1 - there a lot of non-latin languages and it'd be fine to add arabic translation to it.

You'd better use Unicode (UTF-8, UTF-16) from scratch so you'll have less problems in future. > Are there different 'xml:lang' specifiers for different forms of Arabic? > Do you have to do anything special in the generated HTML to reverse the > text-flow? I've seen several special tags in HTML for bi-directional content, see: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/intro/intro.html#h-2.3.1 - general information about Internationalization in HTML http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/charset.html - document representation (character sets, etc.) http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/dirlang.html - Language information and text direction Regards, Konstantin > > Please excuse my extreme ignorance! > > Thanks for any help. > > regards Jeremy > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > Please check that your question has not already been answered in the > FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
