Setting Up Arabic in Windows XP
Adding the Language to Windows
The following instructions will help you to set up your keyboard layout for Arabic that matches the DataCal Keyboard Labels.
Step 1. Install Supplemental Language Support
The Arabic language requires that you install Supplemental Language Support before you can set it up in Windows.

2. To add a language, click the Add button in the Installed services section to open the Add Input Language dialog box.

4. The Keyboard Layout/IME should default to the Arabic keyboard layout. If it does not, click on the arrow to the right of the selector in the Keyboard layout/IME selector and scroll to the Arabic keyboard layout. Note that there often are different keyboard layouts for a language. You should select the language and keyboard layout that matches the DataCal Keytop Label.
5. After you select the language and keyboard layout, click on the OK button to close the Add input language dialog box.
6. When you return to the Text services and input languages dialog box, you will see the new input language and keyboard layout included in the Installed Services box.
7. Click on the Apply button to apply the changes to the new layout. Note that each language features a small blue box in the Installed services section with 2 letters that indicates the language. English is designated as ENI need to install or - 196bdcc.gifr />
The language you select will remain in effect in active Windows application until you select a different language. For example, if you select the Arabic language and keyboard layout in Microsoft Excel and English in Microsoft Word, each application will use that keyboard layout until you exit the application or you select a different language.
Default Keyboard Layout
If you wish to make a particular keyboard layout the default Windows layout (i.e., to be used in all Windows applications), open the Text services and input languages dialog box.
Select the desired keyboard layout to be the default in the Default input language section of the dialog box.
