Arabic Translation

I am trying to start with translating OFBiz to Arabic. I tried one properties file. At first I was not able to enter Arabic characters into that file until changed the property file to support utf-8. It was ok then to enter Arabic characters in the properties file but in the browser the result was that the labels were not showing in Arabic. It was a kind of garbage words. I also tried to build a simple Ofbiz application in Arabic like that shown in the hello world tutorials but the same problem existed. Also it seems that every character in Arabic was displayed in the browser in three strange characters. The direction is still left to right. I just want to display Arabic characters on the browser.

Hi Bashir!
Unless someone else steps up, I would like to offer my (our) help with this. Regards, Torsten Bashir Alfetori schrieb: > I am trying to start with translating OFBiz to Arabic.

Bashir,
Is Arabic a right-to-left language? If yes, then you can either modify the existing style sheets to reverse the direction or you can leave the existing style sheets alone and cascade a "right-to-left" style sheet that reverses the direction. I have done some experiments with reversing the direction in OFBiz. Let me know if you need any help. -Adrian Bashir Alfetori wrote: > I am trying to start with translating OFBiz to Arabic.

Yes, Arabic is right-to-left language. I have modified the existing style sheet to reverse the direction. I noticed that not every thing is ok when reversing direction especially in forms. Now, first I am concerned about displaying Arabic characters even if the direction is still left-to-right. Till now I couldn't do that as mentioned above. Regards, Bashir

Bashir,
Some elements will not reverse direction because of embedded left-to-right styling. There is an initiative underway to remove embedded styling from OFBiz, so that problem will go away in time. Feel free to create a Jira issue for the right-to-left display problems. -Adrian Bashir Alfetori wrote: > Adrian > > Yes, Arabic is right-to-left language.

Torstan,
As an example the Arabic word: الرئيسية ِAppears in the browser as: الرئيسية The character encoding in the browser is set to Unicode (UTF-8)

Torstan,
As an example, here is a screen shot of how one label appears in the Create Agreement Screen.  The Character encoding of the browser is set by default to Unicode(UTF-8). if changed to Arabic(Windows-1256) the second screen shot is obtained.  Best regards, Bashir

Hello,
I already posted ana rabic translation for common and accounting they are not complete but they are quite full, If you want to get it correctly you should use the Property bundle plugin that gets with eclipse, it 's the only way to get around. I send you the arabic files I could do. It's will be great if we work together to have a fully functional arabic version of Ofbiz. Regards. Amine. 2007/2/22, Bashir Alfetori <

Hi Bashir!
Forget about Windows-1256. This is not what you want. What browser are you using? Internet Explorer or Mozilla? Would you bring trying the other one, as one step? Here's what I'd check: - Is the page delivered to the browser as HTML or XHTML? (You can check using the "show page source" option in your browser.) - In case it's XHTML and in case the browser is Internet Explorer, it's not enough to have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, but you should either add an HTML meta tag like this: <head> ... <meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" http-equiv="content-type" /> ... </head> or make sure the corresponding HTTP header is sent. I am not that familiar with OFBiz internals to tell you how to ake this happen, but I am sure other people on the list would be able to help. But in order to find out if this would solve your problem or now, just do this: Save the page to the harddisk. Add that <meta ...> tag manuelly to the <head> section of your HTML. Reload the saved page from your harddisk into the browser. I found IE wanted that extra info while Mozilla doesn't.

Can you post them to the list? > If you want to get it correctly you should use the Property bundle > plugin that gets with eclipse, it 's the only way to get around. What do you mean exactly? I cannot see how an Eclipse plugin should change something at OFBiz runtime? Question to both of you: Translating labels is one thing. But did you already get your mind around all the other right-to-left / bidirectional issues as well as transscription / transliteration issues?

Hi All,
Actually, you should see the chineese translation and have ideas, the characters are written in utf-8 charcter set defined in java like this \u0667214 for every character. The only editor that can directly typed characters to this is the bundled property editor eclipse plugin or the yudit editor when configured correclty. Regards.

Hi Torsten,
I already sent the files with the previous message. The Eclipse plugin doesnt change anything in Ofbiz at runtime, it only helps get correct xxxUILabels files cause it transcript any unicode charcter to its asccii couterpart in java encoding. Amine 2007/2/22, Amine AZZI <[hidden email]>: Hi All, |

Hi, Torsten!
I am using Mozilla Firefox. I tried with Internet Explorer and the same problem occurred. The meta tag is set properly as you stated. here is part of the source code of the page <html xmlns="<a href="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <title>OFBiz: Accounting Manager: Edit Agreement</title> <script language="javascript" src="/images/calendar1.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" src="/images/selectall.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script language="javascript" src="/images/fieldlookup.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/images/maincss.css" type="text/css"/> <link rel="stylesheet" href="/images/tabstyles.css" type="text/css"/> </head> Best regards, Bashir

Torsten,
As Amine said, the first concern is to get Arabic character displayed correctly. After that hope that progress can be made with regarding to Right-to-left direction issues. Regards, Bashir

Amine,
It would be great if we work together for this full functional Arabic version of OFBiz. As I have understood, I need to use the Resource Bundle Editor Eclipse plug in. I will check that. Regards, Bashir

In reply to this post by Bashir Alfetori
Bashir, Amine,
There is an initiative underway to refactor the UI. During the upcoming weeks there will be a lot of activity going on in this area. The right-to-left layout issues you are facing should be solved at the conclusion of the refactor. If you would like to contribute to the effort, please spend some time reading this Jira issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-241 and its sub-tasks. I have taken on the role of coordinating this effort, so let me know if you are interested. -Adrian Bashir Alfetori wrote: > Amine, > > It would be great if we work together for this full functional Arabic > version of OFBiz.
