Hi,

I am new to BIRT and I am using BIRT 4.2 All in One version.

My problem is viewing arabic characaters.

Here are my process of creating the report
1.) I have report oreintation defined RIGHT to LEFT

2.) My system is WINDOWS xp with arabic support.

3.) I have a resource myresource_ar_SA.properties , I have a value pair in inside. This was primarly for the labels, no problem here.

4.) I have a column of type datetime value(ENGLISH) and it also renders the arabic datatime value correctly. I define the Format Date time section for the Properties tab to be arabic(Saudi Arabia), preview format secion is arabic. No problem here

5.) I have a column of type DECIMAL(ENGLISH), I define the Format Section of the Properties Tab to be arabic(Saudi Arabia) . It did not render the arabic numbers. Even the Preview format section is in english.

When I click preview tab only the labels and date time value are arabic.

I am lost of how to enable / display alpha numeric for arabic.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Jason,

If you change the locale to something like German does it work?

Hi Jason,

At last I arrived with the dose to my headache.

It has something to do with windows xp settings.

Windows xp settings
1.) Control panel regional setting->Regional Options->Numbers tab . On the Digit substitution field = Context value
2.) Control panel regional setting->Regional Options tab , beside customize button choose entry Arabic(Saudi Arabia).

and whala , you get arabic numbers rendered correctly, this is in preview tab.


If you run in the View report in Web viewer, english number are displayed.

What could be the problem?

Can you open a bugzilla entry for this? I am not certain this is supported in the viewer.
