Hi all,

I have an issue, which could be really easy to solve, but I don't want to make any damage to my nicely working xBian.

Yesterday I have installed an Arabic add-on to my xBian 1a5 and when I wanted to use it, its menu content was empty, although I still could scroll up and down, and run shows from it.
I assume that my distribution is missing support for Arabic characters.

How can I install or enable this support?

I want to keep my xBian UI english.

Thanks.

An output from my xBian

Terminal

if [ -d /etc/profile.d ]; then
for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
if [ -r $i ]; then
. $i
fi
done
unset i
fi

Update:
I have tried the

Code:

xbian-config locales select

command, but it doesn't work for me.

Guys, any idea?
I think that a solution should work on any language. Forget that it is Arabis. I need to add an additional language (characters set) support to my xbian.
Thanks

@CurlyMo @Koenkk sounds like something for one of you to handle Smile

@starous: you can speed it up by reporting the issue at our GIT

Guys, I've just found a solution for my problem.
I've changed the display font to Ariel based and it helped.
Thanks ;-)
