Persian phrases on English site

[byronss]

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?

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

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!
