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:

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
