It looks great. Arabic is visually such a beautiful language to look at. My addition would be that I think your menu icons could have been better. They don’t visually match the “theme” of the design. Other than that everything else is pleasing to the eye.

Beautiful. Couldn’t be better.
@jadelrab, are there any special conventions, about using colors in arab page layouts and navigation elements ?

I have been reading about it a long time ago, but couldn’t remember what it was.

regards, marios

Arabic is a very good at looking .. if you see the calligraphy handmade posters you will like ‘em so much

thanks again .

marios,

i don’t think colors will be a matter for the language issue . i mean that colors is a personal favorite option only ..
but if you mean that there is a favorite colors for the Arab world i will say : i think so … we love the nature colors . cyan , blue, green , white , yellow , brown , red , orange .. and those which comes from the nature around us ..

the arabic problem will be with the directions .. you know that arabic is RightToLeft language so you should run your css to adapt that ..

i think the current solutions by css and html is very good ..

thanks a lot for your comment

I think Algérie was talking about the lang parameter needing to be Arabic rather than “en”.

jadelrab · 2006-11-26 10:08:21

yes, i forget to set it correctly in the front page .. but anyway i don’t think it is important as long as i don’t use xml codes …
it runs well with arabic paragraphs and utf-8 …. right?

Dragondz · 2007-01-03 13:10:17

But for google it can be easier for him to index the site as an arabic content if you add lang=“ar”.

@dbulli, you are probably missing some fonts on your local mashine in order to display the arab Glyphs.
I can see all the fonts showing up even using ISO (8859-6) arab encoding.
