The Arabic script presents major and specific processing problems that are not encountered in Latin based languages. The main Arabic language support problems are the following: character code set, character shaping and text direction algorithms, Global screen direction and mirror effect, dual keyboard management, and optical character recognition. For more details, see Localization and Internationalization problems for the Arabic language. We provide extensive re-engineering and testing to ensure that localized versions of your product function properly. We offer localization engineering services at our site and at customer site as well.
