Hi Amer Arabic name and content work very well on my workspace. Take look to the attached image that I just produced using the same login name information. In fact, we have got discussion since more than 2 years ago about how to set XWiki on UTF-8 for supporting Chenese and Arabic.... I've sent very long mail explaining how to do so. Another poeple have extended it for another servlet container and RDMS. Here is the link: " http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/AdminGuide/Encoding" (please follow also the web link at the bottom of the page). If you follow these steps, I'm sure that you overcome this problem. Please let me know about it. Enjoy arabizing the XWiki :-) ps. - this issue don't need to be put in the JIRA because it has been solved longtime ago. - not that the size on xwiki mailing list is fixed at 100 ko. I changed thus the size of screenshots. But you can contact me on my personal @ mail Sincerely yours. -- Youcef BEY
