Protege/java seemed to work this way right out of the box. I don't know the language so I can't do any kind of sanity check on this. The other complication - I can see this as I type random stuff - is that some of the unicode characters are given by two keystrokes in sequence (with my keyboard settings). I have seen this with other languages as well and I would hope that someone fluent in arabic would understand what was going on. -Timothy On 07/16/2012 08:34 AM, Martin Kuba wrote: > Dne 16.7.2012 16:54, Timothy Redmond napsal(a): >> >> In order to give a quick answer, I am going to focus on the arabic >> characters part of your question.
