Hi Torsten,
I already sent the files with the previous message.
The Eclipse plugin doesnt change anything in Ofbiz at runtime, it only
helps get correct xxxUILabels files cause it transcript any unicode
charcter to its asccii couterpart in java encoding.

Hi All,
Actually, you should see the chineese translation and have ideas,
the characters are written in utf-8 charcter set defined in java
like this \u0667214 for every character.
The only editor that can directly typed characters to this is the
bundled property editor eclipse plugin or the yudit editor when
configured correclty.
Regards.
Amine.

Hi Bashir!
Forget about Windows-1256. This is not what you want.
What browser are you using? Internet Explorer or Mozilla? Would you
bring trying the other one, as one step?
Here's what I'd check:
- Is the page delivered to the browser as HTML or XHTML? (You
can check
using the "show page source" option in your browser.)
- In case it's XHTML and in case the browser is Internet
Explorer, it's
not enough to have <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>, but you
should either add an HTML meta tag like this:
<head>
...
<meta content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
http-equiv="content-type" />
...
</head>
or make sure the corresponding HTTP header is sent.
I am not that familiar with OFBiz internals to tell you how to
ake this
happen, but I am sure other people on the list would be able to
help.
But in order to find out if this would solve your problem or
now, just
do this:
Save the page to the harddisk.
Add that <meta ...> tag manuelly to the <head> section of your HTML.
Reload the saved page from your harddisk into the browser.
I found IE wanted that extra info while Mozilla doesn't.
Regards,
Torsten

Torstan,
As an example, here is a screen shot of how one label appears
in the Create
Agreement Screen.
http://www.nabble.com/file/6705/ArabicLabel.JPG
The Character encoding of the browser is set by default to
Unicode(UTF-8).
if changed to Arabic(Windows-1256) the second screen shot is
obtained.
