Hi,
Sorry about that!
That's an bug of version 2.6.9b2 where the isRight2Left variable was not been set when not changing the cultureInfo.
You can get the version 2.6.9b3 from the beta folder which includes a fix for that.
Or you can modify the function SetLanguageAndCode as follows:
Assets\i2\localization\scripts\localizationmanager.cs line110
Hope that helps and I will be sending the new version to the store ASAP.
Thanks,
Frank

{
if (mCurrentLanguage != LanguageName || mLanguageCode != LanguageCode || Force)
{
if (RememberLanguage)
PlayerPrefs.SetString ("I2 Language", LanguageName);
mCurrentLanguage = LanguageName;
mLanguageCode = LanguageCode;
if (mChangeCultureInfo)
SetCurrentCultureInfo();
else // -----------add this
IsRight2Left = IsRTL(mLanguageCode); // -----------and this
LocalizeAll(Force);
}
}Hope that helps and I will be sending the new version to the store ASAP.
Thanks,
Frank

Hi,
Using Arabic languages works exactly as with the rest of the languages:
First, you need a Font that supports Arabic. NGUI can use either Dynamic Fonts, or Atlas fonts.
If you use dynamic fonts, check that it includes the Arabic characters (e.g. Arial UNICODE, etc). With the dynamic font, your Arabic text will work directly without issues.
If you use an Atlas font, then you need to create a new font that include the characters you are going to use.
My advice is that you first setup everything with a dynamic font, and after you localize your game, you use the tool in I2 Localization that finds ALL the characters you use in your game, Then you build an atlas with only those characters!
There is also more information about how to setup an NGUI font in the NGUI fonts, there are a few topics there about creating a Chinese atlas. The procedure is the same for Arabic.
After you font setup is correct, you just need to add the Arabic language to I2Languages.prefab. And write the translations for each term (or use auto-translate).
When the plugin detects that you are enabling the Arabic language, it will automatically apply the post-processing to all texts so that they render correctly in the game. That way you don't need to do anything extra.
Just create the language, add the translations, and play the game. The text will render correctly as soon as you change to the Arabic language.
Hope that helps,
Frank
