Windows 10: Some programs with Arabic text appear as rubbish, please help.

Hi all, I have this old dictionary English-Arabic which used to work fin with windows 10. But now the Arabic characters appears as rubbish, please help solve this problem.

:)

 

Only the Arabic contents of some text files became displayed as encrypted.

Hi,

Based on the information that you've provided, the text file that you've opened was created from a
Windows 7 system. This may indicate the text file is using an older text format which may cause compatibility issue. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you set the region and language option to
Arabic. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Click the Start menu or Windows icon.
  
• Select Settings or the cog icon.
• Select Time & Language.
• Under Related settings, click the Additional date, time, & regional settings link.
• Click Region.
• Click the Administrative tab.
• Under the Language for non Unicode programs section, click the Change system locale button.
• Change it to Arabic.
• Click OK.

Once you're done, check if the issue persists.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

Thanks a lot,

I had just tried setting up that(Yemen-Arabic), and then I asked to restart my Windows to let changes take effect.

I have tried restarting it. Then, all those text files having Arabic contents were shown as expected. However, you think then I should stick on these settings without being faced with any issue.

 

Win10 – Language change Arabic to English

I just bought a 2nd hand laptop by occasion and it has only one problem: the Windows 10 was installed in Arabic language and I need it in English. I do not read/speak Arabic language.
I looked over many YouTube videos in Arabic and English language about how to change the language in Win10. Unfortunately my screens that I see in Arabic language do not match the screens seen in Arabic on YouTube videos/tutorials, so I cannot do a blind click-click and by chance to change it into English.
I can make print screens and then put them in USB stick and upload them here on EE from another PC – that I figure it out.
I do not want to reinstall Win10 from scratch, but of course that is the last option.
Below are the first steps which leaded me to, I hope, Language and Regional Settings in Win10, but where to click further and what to choose?
I really need your guidance in step by step with pictures where shall I click in order to install the English language.
A tutorial in English does not help. I need a tutorial (step by step) in Arabic with pictures.
