Last post was from November 2007, now we´re in August 2009. Has anything happened re. RH support of Arabic and right-to-left languages in the meantime? We use RH7, has anybody discovered any RH7 workarounds for handling Arabic? Is RH8 any better at handling Arabic? Any news re. RH handling of Arabic at all?
Lack of RH support for Arabic is a massive problem for us: our Arabic translators want to use RHX3 (apparently the last RH version with Arabic support) when localizaing our RH projects, but many of the features we use RH7 (such as variables, snippets, etc.) aren't supported by RH X3.
Millions and millions of people use Arabic, and they require documentation too. How come such an important language apparently keeps being neglected in RH?

The long and the short of it is that you may be able to generate Arabic ouptut so long as you do not use the RH editor to edit the content. RH8 is the same as RH7 in this respect. You can check out the following links which will help.
I should also add that whilst other users have managed to get their output to work, there is no guarantee you will. If you manage it, all well and good..
Read the RoboColum(n).

If this is still of interest to you, there is a method on my site.

Peter's method applies to webhelp. What about CHM? Has anyone tried it on a CHM?

Peter's article states - Please note that it is for WebHelp only, not for compiled Microsoft HTML Help (CHM).
The techniques required are not possible with a CHM.

Does anyone know if there are any other help authoring tools that are compatible with right-to-left languages (hebrew, arab...)?
