They claim it supports a number of languages via it's support for Unicode (UTF-8). I tested it with Milestones and it works fine. My questions would then be as follows:

1. Have you had any problem displaying Arabic text anywhere within the web application?

2. Have you experienced the site being blocked in any of the Arab countries, specifically the UAE and Saudi Arabia? When you sign up for service you can choose to have a subdomain at one of the following domains. Being that I am located in the United States, I would be very grateful if members of this user group would assist me in checking whether these domains are blocked. Some of them load to just a plain white page, which is fine. If you are able to check, would you please tell me where it is and/or is not blocked. Thank you so much!

My previous company used to use base camp, we moved from MS Project Server to it. It definitely does not have the same kind of functionality. However it is pretty easy to pickup and it doesn't require a lot if any end user training. One of the primary reasons we moved to it was because we were doing a lot of work in Iraq, and we needed to get project engineers up to speed quickly. It is pretty intuitive.
