Persian language support in Office 2010

Post by ozviat »

I just installed MS Word 2010 in wine1.6 and it seems that has some problems with Persian language.I installed usp10.dll, mscorefonts and cabextract but nothing changed. I am using Ubuntu12.04. I have attached a snapshot of what it looks like.
Any suggestion to fixed it?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with how Persian is supposed to look, so I'll just take your word for it that there's something wrong in the screenshot. What locale are you running in? You may need to specify it when starting Wine. (Sorry, I have no idea what the locale for Persian would be.) If it's not a locale issue, search bugzilla to see if there's already a bug that fits your problem, and if there isn't, file one.

Setting locale solved my problem.
In the terminal I could do this by typing:
LC_ALL=fa_IR.utf8 wine WINWORD.EXE

I faced a new problem which probably originates from bidi languages support in wine. Now I can type Persian correctly but English has some problems. As you can see in attached image, the English keyboard layout is not enabled in language options and the Persian keyboard layout is not enabled when I run MS Word normally (default locale option). How can I enable both of them? How can I solve this problem anyway?

You can't; the language bar is not implemented in Wine. http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28125
