Have you set Arabic as a Right-to-left: ?

yes i did................i ticked the box in admin panel...everything is fine but when i try to add a product in admin section
i get a error like "Format string was unhanded by user code"....Input string was not in correct format..i get this error in

CustomerActivityService.cs line No 160  

"comment = string.Format(comment, commentParams);"  ------in this Line

i dont have this problem when i use English as my choice......

Display order For:

English  en-US 0  
Arabic  ar-AE  1

i also get error when i click the new products tab in Menu....i get

Divide By zero exception was unhanded by user code

attempted to divide by zero

in

Pagedlist.cs LINE:61

TotalPages = TotalCount / pageSize;    -in this Line

if you want my xml file i can pass it to you by mail just PM me your mail id please.....

i have looked at the CustomerActivityService.cs, I dont think its a RTL problem. I'm guessing here, i think its the some of the arabic chars that are making the error
again its a guess, needs to debug and see

may be thats the problem.........i have no idea what to do am stuck up here and i have no way out.....please help

Hello Thammu

I'm sorry for the delay to reply to you

unfortunately it seems like the forum dosn't have the feture to send me an email when i had a PM.

any way ,, what i understand from your private message is that you have translated the text using ping translator + you have fixed where sometimes the brakets are not in the correct possition as it seems.

will, this is the resone of your problem, some string are using something like {0} or {1} but when you use arabic you will find the bracts {} in the start of the word. this is normal because you using rtl text with ltr text just leave it as it is

for example:

الحساب '{0}' لا يملك حقوق التعديل على المجلد '{1}'. الرجاء منح حقوق التعديل على هذا المجلد

and

فشل في تنصيب: {0}

from what it look like its not currect but actuly its correct and you see it like that just because of the reading.

to make sure its on the right way; copy it to note pad and press Right-Shift + Right-ctrl

so when you translate the string just dont touch {0} and leave it as its :)
