RE: arabic

There will be problems : the long lines are now split into multiple ones and
this breaks the file structure and syntax (with no way to fix it
automatically, because there’s no continuation mark to make the difference.
So lots of manual editing will be needed to correct this, and this is very
errorprone (such required manual edits that was wrong won’t be detectable by
someone that does not know the Arabic language).

 

Why didn’t you use simply Notepad to save the file without splitting lines.
I have NOT said you to use WordPad, but if you use it, make sure you set the
page layout so that no extra line breaks will be generated on the margins
when saving it (in other words, you need to set a very large page layout
before saving the file to avoid these extra line breaks).

 

You did not said which version of Windows you use? It seems that you are
using Windows 95/98/ME (which are now mostly unsupported). Can’t you use an
alternate (non Microsoft) plain-text editor that is compatible with your
version of Windows and can correctly handle the ANSI Arabic encoding of your
localized version of Windows and can still display save it as Unicode?

If your editor does not have support for UTF-8, may be it’s preferable to
just use Notepad, but then confirm what exact version of Windows you use and
which editor so we can guess correctly the format.

 

For now, your newer submission is still not usable (or may be I will retry
your previous submission, encoded with some 8-bit encoding), using your new
one as a way to verify is words are effectively correctly represented. The
first time I tried to guess your system, it generated wrong characters and
encoding errors.

 

Thanks.

Philippe.

It seems that your translation is not encoded with Unicode ;

Did you use an old version Windows 95/98/ME and save it with the local ANSI
Arabic encoding?

 

If you used Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista, please convert it by saving it in
Unicode format: select the “UTF-8” encoding in the “Save as” dialog of your
editor.
