Hello all,
It appears I've finally figured this out. The following command, from an
olpc command window, seems to get me what I want (with Right Alt as the
group toggle key):
setxkbmap -display :0 fr,ara -option grp:toggle
(Of course, in the real world, these would be reversed :-))

Thanks Walter,
This is wonderful to hear. I guess then, for development purposes, how
do I do that from emulation, since I don't have a real XO at the moment?
Once I've got that, I can start playing with Arabic script in the
various activities to help in the testing effort. Let me know who is

While the laptop can readily switch between up to four keyboard
mappings at a time, the physical keyboard is probably only capable of
supporting two sets of glyphs. We've opted to date to put Latin and
one other set per keyboard. Any other ideas more than welcome.

you can switch the keyboard on the fly, using the language key. you
can switch the language of the interface per session, using the
sugar-control-panel. most activities can accommodate Latin and Arabic

Hello,
I have a question.
Schools in at least some countries in the Middle East and the Maghrib
typically teach in Arabic first and then a European language, typically
French or English. Therefore, I can envision students having to do two
written assignments, one in Arabic and another in French,
