Salaam, man farsi balad nistsam - sorry!

I am doing a primarily English site for a friend but it needs to have Persian phrases in it (with Persian characters), which someone who writes in Persian will give me as text.

I have absolutely no idea how to have Persian paragraphs in between the English text.

I'm hoping someone can give me some hints please. A plugin? Fonts? I can do the site in Joomla 1.5 or 1.6 - no problem with either.

Mersi

Thanks, but I don't want to work in Persian. I just want to have some paragraphs in the front end displayed in Persian with the English, on the same page. Can that be done?

OK

This plugin might help you

Hello,

I have the same intend ( have an english website with ability to add Persian articles into it).

I have followed the instruction in the provided link, but am not able to get the desired outcome. I see question marks when I create and save an article in Persian.

Can you please advise what I should do?

thank you in advance.

Note: FYI-I have
- Joomla 1.5
- installed persian language pack ( but not set as default)
- installed the pluging in above link that you requested

I managed to do it fine on a new install of Joomla 1.6 with absolutely no additional software - just the normal install. The site is still under construction but here's an example of Persian and English in the same article: http://www.peyvand.net.au/events

I'm told the old Fantastico automatic install of Joomla 1.5 doesn't do the right encoding (or something like that). I did my install through the Joomla Utlities in cPanel and there was nothing else I had to do. No language pack, nothing. If you only want Persian in the articles, this worked really well.

I hope this helps you!
