Hi Abdel: Evergreen uses Unicode from the database through to the interface, so storing / searching / displaying Arabic bibliographic data from MARC records should be fine. However, the catalogue and staff client have not been designed to support right-to-left languages, so even if those interfaces were translated, the display of those interfaces in a right-to-left language would not be correct. -- Dan Scott Laurentian University
