add a new language in CMS

[ysf]

hi,

i want to add arabic language in CMS... how can i???

Take a look at: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... ,49.0.html.  However, I would probably wait until the 0.10 beta comes out (hopefully this week), because there have been a lot of additions to the language files since 0.9.2, and all of the default modules have multiple languages as well.

Oooh.  You're right.  I NEVER thought about the RTL part of it.  I wouldn't even know where to start on that one.

just out of curiosity, how will be handled the fact that arabic and hebrew languages are "right to left" scripting direction?

You can do that By adjusting CSS

add this in body tag
body {   
direction:rtl;
   
}

Keep in mind, the core of cms may handle rtl languages, but it may be difficult for some of the add on modules (galleries, and CMSMailer, etc, etc) because they use third party software that may or may not support rtl languages.
