A:
To add support for a bidirectional language such as Arabic, please perform the following steps. (These instructions assume WAS is installed at C:\WebSphere\AppServer)

  1. Update the WPS database: WPSDB (-25 is the new id assigned to  a new language, if -25 already exists in the table, use another number)
    Insert into language values (-25,'ar','ar','EG','','UTF-8','UTF-8')
    Insert into MARKUP_DESC_LOD values (1,'ar','HTML','UTF-8')
    Update MARKUP_DESC_LOD set CHARSET='UTF-8'
  2. Modify the file LocalizerService.properties and NavigatorService.properties.Both of them can be found at the directory C:\WebSphere\AppServer\lib\app\config\services.
    In LocalizerService.properties, set locales.bidi = he, ar.
  3. Modify the file language.properties, which can be found in C:\WebSphere\AppServer\lib\app\config. Set language.15 = ar max.count = 15
  4. In C:\WebSphere\AppServer\lib\app\nls directory, add in the following files. (All the Arabic characters should be tranlsated into UTF-16 code, such as \u3027. You may use command "native2ascii" to translate Arabic characters to Unicode format.)
