Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
Looks like it's converted to html entities.
Joomla version?
Arabic language pack encoding?
Database collation?
EDIT : you are not using an RTL template either,
I suggest you post for help in the Arabic forum,

Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
Sure you have done all what is recommended here —including the change in database.php ?
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/1641/62/
If yes, have you checked your original db dump? does it show html entities?
Last, have you looked with phpmyadmin how the content looks like in the tables concerned?

Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
Hi there ,
We don't offer UTF-8 encoded language files at the Arabic Project currently , as J! 1.0.x series not fully Unicode supporting .
I totally agree with Mr. J.M. recommendations .
Good luck!

Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
What's you MySQL version ? How does the last screen look after changing the encoding to windows-1256 ?
Did you add those Articles before installing Arabic language ?
P.S : Why don't you just use the default encoding for Arabic ? what's the Unicode importance to your site at this moment ?

What's you MySQL version ?
MySQL 4.1
How does the last screen look after changing the encoding to windows-1256 ?
the same
Did you add those Articles before installing Arabic language ?
I add this article from MySQL 4.1 editor, not from Joomla
Why don't you just use the default encoding for Arabic ?
I tried to use Windows-1256 also, and the same problem appeared
Mohammed, is it butter to wait Joomla 1.5 to jet my mind out of all these problem?

Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
I'm afraid here lies the problem . It's not Joomla issue after all . You'd better add your content from Joomla .basheerb wrote: Did you add those Articles before installing Arabic language ?

It's left to your considerationbasheerb wrote:

Regards,
All I can recommend you is to :
- do a clean install of the latest version of Joomla!
- use Arabic language file found here : http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/
- don't use sql editors unless you know what you're going through .
- Joomla! 1.0.x series is fine and surely there is a migration method to transfer your 1.0.x website into 1.5 safely and easily

Re: Problem in Arabic Encoding !
Hi basheerb,
if you migrated data from an other site,
check this data wasn't already NCR (NCR= numerical characters) encoded.
If not you must do the conversion NCR --> utf8,
which might not be completly obvious.
I already converted an arabic site in Joomla 1.00x to support utf-8,
and I've written a php script to convert the NCR characters properly
from the SQL dump. Unfortuanately I didn't keep a copy of that script.
You might try a freeware called Babelpad, for the NCR --> utf8.
Also check the encoding specified by your langage file is utf8.

@mdmmdm
Please open a new thread, your problem is not related since you are using Joomla 1.5x ,
and this thread is too old (2006 last post)
