Hi Antonio,
If you haven’t found any documentation or examples specifically for Arabic, you
might be interested in this Persian example from EIAH – it was demonstrated at
OR 09 and handles a lot of the challenges you will face – right to left hand
side (and bidirectional when English phrases are quoted etc), zero-width
non-joiners, etc..
The slides/presentation notes are here:
http://conferences.library.gatech.edu/or/or09/paper/viewPDFInterstitial/153/65
It doesn’t go into a great deal of detail – it was fascinating just to see that
this is possible, though, so perhaps the people at EIAH can help to document
this further or share some notes. I believe there are many similarities between
Persian and Arabic character/input/date handling?
Cheers,
Kim

Subject: [Dspace-tech] Arabic Support in Dspace
Hi dspace community, I'm writing to ask if D-Space support the Arab language:
Does D-space come in Arabic ?
has DSpace the support to allow typing from right side to left side? (e.g.
http://www.google.co.ke/language_tools?hl=ar all the input form use the right
left sense)
Thank you very much!
Antonio
