Hi.
I think it can be done by adding the following html-tag in the beginning of the file.
<html dir=rtl>
dir=trl is the magic word 
Take a look at the source from the forum you mentions.

Yes we know that this is another issue to be solved in the final. The language files must include a setting for this anyway. I.e. if you select English it will be l2r, if arabic is selected it will become r2l. Is this what you want?

Exactly.
Another thing:
I decide to make language files for Farsi and Arabic. I know how to modify langXXX file to define our language strings. But how can I add this language file to menu on v4.x ?

Open config.asp and find the includes (for LangNNNN.asp files) near the bottom of the file. Put never ones there.
CAUTION: It's not advisable to put more than 2 languages in the forum because it will harm your server performance. For every language 200 KB file will be loaded into server memory and executed. And this is for every visitor and for every page view they have!

The right to left issue is not so simple as just adding the dir="rtl" tag.
In some places (especially input boxes for urls) you need the "normal" (L2R) direction.

Can you explain about the problem and its solution a bit please. I never played with that tag, and I will do it in the following weeks.

just try it...
In places where you(the user) need to input in english (like typing his e-mail or favorite site url) a "rtl" input box is very confusing.
Also, the pictures of the "bread crumbs" (sorry don't know how they're called, I mean the links that lead you from: "all forums" -- "name of this forum" -- "name of post") are reversed.
And one more thing, when your'e posting and trying to add forum code tags into an rtl input box they come out realy strange.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The solution I have is lots of "ants work" I go into the pages and plant the dir rtl into specific tables and/or input boxes.
and regarding the forum code tags:
I give the users a tip to change the status of the input box by typing left CTRL-SHIFT in it (thus aligning it ltr) to see how the tags come out. and I wrote a script (for IE5 and up) that makes the post buttons behave like editor buttons (you select the text you want to "bold" , for example, with the mouse and click the bold button)
I'll send you the script if you want.

If you did this on a fresh copy of any release (v3.3 or v4.0) I can easily locate the changes and carry your work. Otherwise its another cumbersome work that I'll leave for v4.1 (although I want to implement it in v4.0f).

Well, now I see what you mean  . There is bunch of work related to this  . But because it is a must, I want to include this into v4b04. Can you (i.e. Hebrew and/or Arabic speaking/coding people) help me in this?
