    Hi Ahmad,

    Set the $charset in /includes/config.php to utf16. I think utf16 supports Arabic.

    I've never worked with RTL before, but if I'm not wrong you need to to set the css of your newsletter to RTL. http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_text_direction.asp

    Thanks.

    ok one last thing, i noticed that arabic works fine now but when i have arabic and english word in the same line, they get fliped! i guess this has something to do with the link you posted here... i have very little coding skills so will you please explain further? i still didnt get it

    Hi Ahmad,

    I have no experience with Arabic texts and how it renders when mixed with English. I guessed you can't mix Arabic and English in one document otherwise it will not be RTL?

    I did a search on Google with "arabic text mixed with english css" and found http://webdesign.about.com/od/localization/a/aa060407.htm. Perhaps it'd give you some understanding?

    Thanks.

    Ben

    i feel that the solution is in the first link you posted here, will you please explain to me a little bit on how to use this line of code? where do i write it exactly?

    You can try including the style in your body tag like so → <body style="direction:rtl;">.
