    You probably need to adjust the character encoding:

    I added this code line to conf/settings.php
    $Configuration['DATABASE_CHARACTER_ENCODING'] = 'utf8';
    but nathin' changed and I still can't see arabic letters!

    Have you read the whole document? It needs to match with the database encoding among other things.

    I've never had the need to do this, so I don't know the pro's and con's or which methods work best, but I do know there are several ways

    Edit your languages/definitions-arabic.php file, and change $Context->Dictionary['XMLLang'] = 'en-ca'; to $Context->Dictionary['XMLLang'] = 'ar" dir="rtl';

    If that doesn't work, try adding direction: rtl; to the second or third line of themes/Vanilla/styles/vanilla.css

    And last, you could try using the invisible character that reverses text direction.

    You might have to use only one or a combination of the above methods--let us know what works best.

    The first method works but the style goes bad...
    The second method doesn't work...
    And I have no Idea what to do with the third method ! :D

    Is there any way I can make only the discussions and their title from RTL?

    Thanx alot.

    First method is probably the best one then... Might have to tweak some things in the style... Does this site look normal? http://www.appleapps.net/Vanilla/

    If not, what should be different?
