Hello Jeff Wang I thank you for your message but I still don't get a satisfied result of the view of the application, here what I did:- I translated the openerp through launchpad and the translation appeared after I exported the arabic langauage to a file and I imported it again with another name- I changed the language direction to RTL as you said- I didn't find the pdf_report_unicode module I hope you could point me to where I can get the result is what you see in "OpenERP-Real" file that's attachedthe desired result is what you see "OpenERP-ShouldBe" filealso the view of text label is comfortable for arabic users at all as you see in "OpenERP-TextLabel" I'd love to know your suggestions about how we can make OpenERP view be as desired.

 Hi kifcaliph,

    I am the tean leader of china localization team.

   First of all, translate on launchpad is a better way then edit the po file for more people can easily join to collaboration.

1)   after change the po file, you need click menu (under translation ) "load an official translation" and select your language, but I am not sure I know what you mean when you said "the application isn't fully translated". we know there is a bug on web client that the we mo file never been load, so buttons are always English.
    
2)    "the layout is not RTL", you can change to RTL for your language, there is a menu under translation too.

3)    OpenERP does parse characters into unicode, but the font used in standard reports "Dejavu" not support unicode (Chinese is another one it don't support ), so you need search pdf_report_unicode module to replace all Dejavu font to the font in your system which support your language.

    All of above needn't touch the code. 

   Good luck and thank you for contribution to OpenERP, this is very important for all of this community.

Hello there

I am trying to translate OpenERP into Arabic and I've followed the steps
that is described in the documentation which is translating the po
files, but when I tested it I found the application isn't fully
translated and the layout is not RTL which make it hard to read Arabic.
there is also another problem is that OpenERP doesn't parse characters
into unicode which make the Arabic characters don't appear in the PDF
printed reports. I figured out that I need to handle all the previous
issues using code. so I make a branch of OpenERP Web Client and I
downloaded it to modify OpenERP but I don't know where to start. when I
try to run openerp-web.py I got the following list of error, even that I
run the populate.sh:
*********************************************************
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/kifcaliph/workspaces/openerp-arabic-web-client/openerp-
web.py", line 9, in <module>
    import openobject.commands
  File "/home/kifcaliph/workspaces/openerp-arabic-web-
client/openobject/__init__.py", line 8, in <module>
    import cherrypy
  File "/home/kifcaliph/workspaces/openerp-arabic-web-
client/lib/cherrypy/__init__.py", line 62, in <module>
    from urlparse import urljoin as _urljoin
ImportError: No module named urlparse
*********************************************************
I'd love to know your suggestions and best practices about making
OpenERP arabic user friendly and in parallel with the new version of
OpenERP.

thank you all
