The problem is that Arabic is written from right to left. I have added Arabic in project language settings and translated the project texts into arabic, but in runtime, the characters appear in reversed order. I think that this HMI panel runs WinCE. Is there any language package that I can add to the panel to solve this problem???

WinCE does not support right-to-left languages by default, but is there any workaround to overcome this problem?? e.g. language package?? I have a solution, but it will be a nightmare. It is to put all the labels as pictures.

Maybe there really some issues which can be fixed in HSP some time later. Don't be lazy and ask for support.

Let us know if it works. This solves half of the problem. The charecters are in right order now, but in Arabic language, letters of the same word must be connected. I don't know how to explain, but a letter in Arabic can have two shapes: single and connected.
