Displaying Arabic Text

Semaphore

I followed the tutorial regarding adding multiple translations and named the new language "Arabic", but when when showing the translated text all I see is "????". So no Arabic characters are being shown at all.

What can I do in this case?

I even got Arabic fonts to the folder and tried to assign them (through the menu tab in Game Editor window) but that did not help at all.

The Arabic feature will simply reverse the order of input boxes and strings - it won't affect the translation output, so I don't know where your "????" display is coming from.  For which line types (speech, menu etc) are these characters appearing?  Are you entering in special characters into your dialogue boxes?

This applies to all types of text (menus and subtitles).

I am not entering any specific characters. In fact not a single Arabic character is displayed but always a question mark.

I am using open office to edit the .csv file and when opening it asks me to select a character set/encoding. I selected Windows-1256 since that is the popular choice in other development tools.

Ok, found the issue.

When opening the .csv file in open office you should select UTF-8 as the encoding.

Text displays fine now
