i need to use arabic fon't
and cant find http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?       code

and how to change directions to ( right to left )

Thanks 

Hello,

The direction automatically changes based on your user's language choice, it's a default parameter in Joomla's language files. You would need to use a font that supports Arabic, you would need to search google font's website for this. Most google fonts support some of Arabic, but not everything. I would recommend using a web safe font such as Arial, which can be chosen from the Vertex admin, which does support Arabic.

Thanx mikek

arabic work but i need custom font , not an Arial, I've changed it using phoca font extension ,

now the RTL Doesn't work .. .  ,,, i set the site lang to arabic ..
why it doesn't work ???!

when i press RTL language from features menu no thing change ?

Hello,

RTL will only kick in if you've setup the site for multi language and the user selects their language as a RTL language, that is a default feature of Joomla.

sorry , i can't understand you

you mean i should setup  multi language for the site to use RTL ? or should Not  to do that  ?


( kick in ) ? ?

Hello,

If you want your site to use RTL you have to set your site up to a specific language, usually this is on multi language sites. We have given a multi language tutorial here:

http://www.shape5.com/joomla_tutorials.html

Hi ,

I have setup multilanguage for the site as shown in the tutorial ,,
and RTL doesn't work !


moner

finally i's working on site shaper 1.5 ,, but i want Know what the error with 1.7 version .
i need this version ,,

there is n'i Arabic translation for 1.7  ,, so 2.5 language pack will work fine ? ,, or this is the problem

what do you think mike ?

Hello,

A language translation is for the backend of Joomla, not the frontend. A template only has any effect on the frontend. Anything for 1.7 will work with 2.5.

Hi ,

No the language for all ends and i have made it default for frontend

Anything for 1.7 will work with 2.5 ,, and vise versa right ?

are 1.5 is good ,,  ?

or preferred to working to solve  this issue  .

Hello,

I am not sure what your asking. The Template doesn't have any control over language settings as stated multiple times. If you have questions relating to the Joomla Language Packs please post them on extensions.joomla.org

Hello,

A lot of people still use J1.5 since it is what they are familiar with but a lot of extra features were built into the newer versions (2.5/3.0) It is up to you which version to use but if everything is working properly on 1.5 I would just stick with that.

-Mike

Hello,

It depends on what your user base requires. Some languages require a RTL format, others do not.
