Arabic Localization of the Nokia N800 and N810 - تعريب النوكيا

Please note that this solution is intended for Nokia N800/N810 with OS2008. No need to install the Mozilla MicroB Browser as it is already pre-installed. If you have OS2007 then it is highly recommended that you upgrade to the lastest version of OS2008.

Notes:
  • The Arabic Keyboard was made possible by the joint efforts of Jiri Benc and myself, Аli Кhadra.
  • The Arabic Keyboard is part of the ukeyboard package which includes other languages such as Bulgarian, Czech, Esperanto, Hungarian, Slovak, etc.
  • Step 5 (part 2) and Step 6 are recommended to avoid having to press Shift when switching to Arabic. There are no capital (uppercase) letters in the Arabic language.
  • It is also possible to set up Arabic as 1st language and English (or any other language) as 2nd.
  • Known issues: Some letters in the Arabic keyboard stick out to lower keys. Due to this, two vowel signs are not visible on their respective keys. This seems to be a Maemo System issue.
