Hello. When using FET in Arabic, and 2 tags, the software places a Latin script comma between the tags (either in software or in prints), while it should be an Arabic script comma.

Hello! Thank you for your suggestion! I will add it in the TODO.

Unfortunately, it is a lot to change, a lot of tedious and critical work. If I was sponsored by somebody for my price, I would try it. Otherwise, it will have to wait, sorry.

Walid

Thanks for your response and best wishes.

Liviu Lalescu

You are welcome! Thank you!

Hello again, Walid,

I am thinking of it. Could you please tell me if there are other wrong punctuation marks in Arabic in FET? Does the dash "-" remain the same? I think "?" and "!" are all correct, because they are translated.

If I will do it, I will make "," translatable and use the Arabic character for the Arabic translation.

Also, the semi-colon ";" should be translated?

What about the dot "."?

Volker Dirr

As far as I know Spanish guys use "?" and "!" different. They use it at the beginning and at the end of a sentence and the first time is is mirrored from up to down.

Some Chinese and Japanese guys don't use the ".". They write a circle.

As far as I know Arabic guys don't have a dash. They normally use a comma. As semicolon they can use the Latin ";" or the Arabic "؛"؛

Liviu Lalescu

Dash is needed for instance for activities description in the list of activities: "123 - 1/2 -   John - Mathematics - 7A"

Volker Dirr

I think just making them translatable and the translator can choose is a good solution.

Liviu Lalescu

I chose only to translate ",", ";", ".", and "?".

I am hopefully ready. I will work tomorrow in the morning to check some more and then hopefully put a snapshot for testing. @Walid , will you help me testing tomorrow? If yes, please stay tuned.

Walid

Sorry for not responding in time. I thought the subject was ended after your response in the beginning. I'm enable to test because I use FET for MacOS and the last update isn't available yet. Anyway, thanks a lot Liviu for your work.

Liviu Lalescu

No subject is closed - we can always rethink.

You are welcome, and thank you, too!

Please let me know when you will test this.

Walid

Indeed, it is working. Thanks again.

Liviu Lalescu

Thank you! Could you please check the print preview or print (from the interface)? On my Windows, it works correctly, but on my GNU/Linux in print preview the spaces are not placed where they should be. In HTML and interface everything is correct.
