Informing apple about the arabic issues

momoz88 · 27th February 2008, 13:05

Salam 3alikom,
I think we should keep sending feedback to apple concerning the lack of support of arabic in the OS in general and iWork 08. I am using iWork 08 for my school stuff, "English" but the problem that when comes to writing arabic it simply does not work, I have to use Microsoft office PC version. I am always sending feedback to apple about these issues, I hope you guys do as well maybe they notice it. another thing why do you guys post every thing in English.Try to inform Steve Jobs as well this is his e mail steve@mac.com

Thank you for bringing up this issue. We should send them feedback, but I think also what we can do is keep the issue alive by discussing it and possible ways of helping users on sites like this one. By keeping the issue "alive" and public, I think we can perhaps influence the issue more.

Thanks for bringing this issue up momoz. There are a number of ways we are making our voice reach Apple. We have done so for many years, reasons why Apple aren't so enthusiastic in improving Arabic support in its application is not clear to us.

One main avenue in making our voice reach is to write in this forum - in English - so that Apple staff can understand us, secondly is to keep in touch with Apple IMC and partner with them whenever possible to push Arabic issue together.
