Margery, just a couple hits off a Google search on "arabic language html
pages" and "encoding arabic":

Try:
http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/...E6/wPapers.asp

http://babel.uoregon.edu/yamada/guides/arabic.html

And: scour the CSS newsgroup archives (Google "Groups":
comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesheets) and/or post a question there for
how to encode for Arabic language per your needs; you may be able to enclose
limited arabic-encoded sections in <span> tags (using CSS, that is), for
example, within pages that are mainly English ... Or use the below method
depending on your needs. (the author, "Chris Gray"; the link is July, 1997,
so ... Not sure what has improved or changed since.)


"If you want to send out a document which is (primarily) in Greek, Hebrew,
or
Arabic, then send it out with an appropriate document encoding in the HTTP
headers, and use that encoding (e.g. ISO 8859-7 for Greek). If your
document is truly polyglot then for the time being at least you're pretty
well condemned to using Unicode, which few browsers support. See the i18n
stuff at the w3c site for more details."

Sorry can't help you more.

Don't know. But read
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/...direction.html
for general considerations. See
http://ppewww.ph.gla.ac.uk/~flavell/...ir-sample.html
for some examples what could go wrong; and see
http://www.unics.uni-hannover.de/nhtcapri/arabic.html6
for the complete Arabic alphabet.
