You will probably have to use a multi-lingual WordPress Plugin to help with some of these issues. See Translation and Multilingual WordPress Plugins and Blogging in More Than One Language for more helpful advice.

Remember that WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different animals and you have to be very clear about which one you should ask which question for. WordPress.com is set up for all types of languages, but you have to choose ONE, not many. Single hosted versions of WordPress can be set up to handle more than one language.

The issue is a combination WordPress and WordPress Theme. The Theme must be enabled and identify itself by language to the browser in order for the browser to display the right character set, and WordPress must know which character set you are blogging in during the installation phase. It must be set up in the wp-config. It’s tough to work in more than one language, so I recommend you have a single hosted version of WordPress and use a Plugin to make it easier.

I have been trying to set up my blog on iblogger with limited success…
I previously blogged on tumblr but decided to migrate to wordpress. I installed wordpress via fantastico successfully, however, I have not been able to import all my blog enteries via xml, noteably, all my hebrew and arabic enteries appear as question marks. Initially I thought it was a problem with wordpress. I tested this theory and on wordpress.com and it works there… So something, it appears, is missing in my installation of wordpress on my website… Are there any language files I need installed?
Would really appreciate help, as I had no joy on the wordpress forum :(

Thank you so much,
Dan

While that is mostly true, many web hosts do not have CPanel or Fantastico. Many still have to install WordPress without them.

Also, this article is about blogging with with WordPress.com, not the self hosted version. WordPress.com is set up to easily handle Arabic, Hebrew, and other RTL languages, in addition to Esperanto, many African languages, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Croatian, and many other languages. The language is activated upon registration.

I read the whole thread and I hope you have not lost your patience yet :-)

If you have your own domain, most probably – when you log in to your CPanel (where you can manage your website)- you will have something there called (Fantastico), click on it and under *Blogs), you will find WordPress there, then you are ready to go by just clicking on (Install). You can double check on that.

I am not sure if you want to blog in Arabic, but it is now doable in WordPress and once you set the language to Arabic in the General Options tab as explained above, everything will be right aligned and fine. That being said, if you plan to publish posts in both Arabic and English, then all English posts will be right-aligned if you have Arabic set as your main blogging language.

I hope this helps. If not, please let me know and I will do my best to help.

Eid Mubarak to you and your family inshaa Allah.

Thanks,
Mohamed Zeid
