Great to hear you got it working! Yes, we need to make a note of this. I believe someone else had this same problem a while back. It turns out that if you hit enter at the top of your locale (have at least 1 blank line at the top) everything will work fine. The technical problem is that our SWORD config object looks for lines which start with a '[' to determine the start of a new section. When the MS editors add the BOM character to hint that the file is Unicode UTF-8, the line no longer starts with a '[' and the section is skipped. We should really change our config class to ignore these characters. My apologies for not remembering this problem! Again, I'm glad you got things working. I expect a new BibleCS release sometime near and before Jun 15.
Excited to have your Arabic submissions!

All,
I finally got arabic working in both locales and uilocales :) I'm sending this mail to let you know the solution and also because I think there should be some easier way to do it :)
The cause of the problems I had is the BOM hidden characters added in the begining of the text file when I save it as utf8 in notepad. I also tried another text editor with the same result. SWORD doesn't seem to handle these charachters correctly. I just have open the file in some editor that displays them and delete them manually to get it to work.
Now it's just a matter of writing some Arabic string. I will send again as soon as I have something completed.
I just wanted to know when is the next realease of SWORD for Windows expected? I want to try to finish this translation - or at least a big part of it - before the coming release so that it can be added to the release package.
Blessings, Sameh

Hi,
The files provided at https://crosswire.org/svn/biblecs/trunk/stage/uilocales.d/ are encoded as ascii though they have the Encoding value set ti utf8. Did anyone try saving one of these files as utf8? Do we have any working locales file that actually uses utf8 encoding?
The de.conf file contains unicode umlaut characters. Is your arabic utf8 locale file available somewhere so we can test it?
