If you mean "© 2000-2002 Snitz Communications", you can use anything there, set by an admin option. You cannot translate the "powered by" & "snitz forums" and/or change the charset.<

Question on this: I tried to input Arabic here: (I typed "thisisatest" in English), it seems that tha language is automatically input rtl, even in this forum.

ÝÇåÓåÓÔÝËÓÝ
ÝÇååÓÔÝËÓÝ

I work on a Chinese version of w2k, there's no easy way to switch to English in my Arabic input method, and if I turn to English it become ltr:

ÝÇåÓåÔÝËÓÝthisiatest.

Ariabic is rtl while Eng turns to lt2. though they are in the same line.
<=========Ar En============>
Is it the same behavior in a native Arabic version of windows?<

It is not RTL, it is just right justified.

i know it's right justified, but i ment that when you write, the fact it's not reversed does not mean it's RTL.
RTL has the scroll bar on the left side, and automaticly flips some allignments (can't figure out which ones though, so I play it by ear)<

do you read Arabic? change the encoding method of your browser to Ar and see if my input is rtl? I don't read Arabice, just noticed if I use the Ar input it's inputed automatically from right to left. what I typed on my US101 keyboard is in English "thisisatest" using arabice input.<

The fact that it does write from left to right it's part of the built in language support.
We're talking about the direction of the page, look in my page http://dudy.mine.nu/537437345846853864376/<

<html dir=rtl>
<body>
testing<br>
<input type=text dir=ltr><br>
<input type=text><br>
</body>
</html>

Looks like you can redefine the direction in every single input element. Probably this can be solved using css and giving as default for input elements a ltr direction.<

you should, first of all, set every email & URL field to LTR, the rest alignment values should use a boolean (0 or 1) function extracting the proper alignment based on the original and whether the language needs it.
in addition, the file tree L shaped image should be flipped in RTL languages.
another problem i faced while translating was the support of the server in the language, i couldn't upload an existing databse but was able to make a new one with no problem.<

I didn't understand this! Do you mean the type of database? What are you using?
