I'm a newbie to Ubuntu.

Is there some way to make Ubuntu compatible with Arabic language?

I don't mean the keyboard layouts , I mean when open an exiting windows text file it's like this:

But when I create, type, save, re-open the text file Arabic works fine:

    I think you're just Funning me. Either you post the answer or whoever / whatever posts an answer then you click the BIG GREEN CHECK MARK next to the answer to mark it as solved. Otherwise your question registers as unanswered for the next 1500 years which makes it embarrassing when aliens land from another planet. Sep 20, 2016 at 3:56

as the answer at opening a non utf8-encoded this is how I fix it

1 - open gedit > press open

2 - open file dialog will appear

3 - press keyboard settings / layouts settings / Encode settings / add-remove bla bla :D

you will see it at right/left bottom

4 - another dialog will appear from it add the Arabic windows & ISO

that's it !!


P.S : 1 small issue >> every time you want to open Arabic text you will need to open it from open file dialog and select Arabic windows/ISO from the dropdown
