Arabic Conversion in PDA

[Guest]

I want to convert my PDA Application developed in C#.net(Windows application)
to support arabic. (Window CE 4.20)
I tried using uciCultureInfo = new CultureInfo("ar-KW");
and localised information in a seperate resource file.
I am getting an error like "PlateformNotSupported Exception.

How to proceed with. Does Window CE 4.2 support arabic conversion.
Also kindly let me know any reference i can make to achieve my objective

Thanks in advance.

I think that this is an OS-level, not .NET CF-level, problem. The fonts on
your PDA, unless it is an Arabic language version of the OS, won't contain
the characters that you need, in all likelihood. Further, there won't be
any support, unless you write it yourself, for Arabic data entry. You
really need a device built for Arabic operation in order to do what you
want...
