Unfortunately the Arabic translation cannot be enabled. A translator made too many mistakes regarding the string formatting specifications, and forcing Task Coach to use it would probably crash it.

Just to clarify: did you download the existing translation or did you do the translation yourself ?

I have downloaded the ar_LC_MESSAGES_
Any way, never mind if the Arabic language will not work, but can I display the table of tasks from right to left ?!!!!

No sorry, that's not supported. Even RTL text like in Arabic or Hebrew is only partially supported.

I am working with taskcoach. I would like to have an arabic version of the software. I have the experience to do the translation process correctly from scratch. Can we start to have Arabic as a supported language.

Yasser, I hope Jerome will reply soon, but my understanding is that it's possible and welcome to do a full from-scratch Arabic translation. I don't know what's involved or what the issues may be.

Aaron, It would work as follows:
By choosing the the language, we choose the option "Let the system determines the language"
After that the systems has the program in control and it is RTL.
All what i need to know, when we have this case which translated file is in action?
We can replace it with a good translated arabic file. I think after that we have an arabic version.
Can you help with this problem?
Provide an answer of your own, or ask boulus for more information if necessary.
