I recently changed my firmware to an arabic one(asia) and than started downloading all my apps in arabic like mini opera,ebuddy,gmail, ect. And every time i got the same problem.
The arabic lines are written from the wrong side (from the left to the wright, normally it's from wright to left). Other than that the latters are separated in the single word. Those problem drives me crazy, just imagin guys that you have to read the english texts from the right to the left!?!:-(
Please , if anyone has a solution for the problem i'd be grateful.
Thanks in advanced |

Well actually I don't know about right to left order since I never had the need to use arabic languages... Actually I'm using english (default) menu language.

I think you're right there is no way to solve the problem since the arabic language is the only one that starts from the wright to the left and being supported in all firmwares( i think ) but not the apps

So the phone menus are in right to left order while the apps are oposite right? If so it may be the apps.

Well the java app interface and language is independent from the phone's one in most cases you maybe the apps you are downloading are crap... Try searching for apps on other sites.

I searched yesterday for apps and i found out the following:
1. All the apps support the arabic texts as long as the phone supports it (i think)
2.i found some that works perfect, but the problem is that they just don't use their own menus but the phone's. So whenever it comes to menu from the app than i just have the same problem as in 1.
The working app are not know but i could give an example , the world facts application ,or world flags .
I'm totally confused. I think it's better to get my self another mobile.
