pack for the XO. I was in touch with two folks who were helping, but
alas, by the time I got these instructions, I was no longer out at the
remote site where the XOs were. I don’t know if they ever got it
working. I’ve copied Marina V on this email as she worked on this issue
in Vietnam also. Marina made great progress downloading children's books. I copy Chris Leonard too...He is the fantastic
localization volunteer and knows a lot. If you don't find answers below
then maybe Chris L and folks on the localization list can help!<br></div><div><br></div>I am attaching a PDF where I copy a string of old emails, from Match 2010 with instructions on how to install the Vietnamese language pack. And questions and problems we had trying to get it to work. If you read through this, and obviously use the arabic language pack( instead of the Vietnamese one), perhaps something in these instructions will solve your problem! I hope so!<br><br></div>Please see attached and good luck!<br></div>Best,<br></div>Nancie<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(153,0,255)"><font size="2"><font size="4"><i><font size="2">Nancie G.

We managed to change the interface language of the XO to Arabic, but<br>obviously not all of the activites switch over to Arabic on their own. The ones that I am having the most trouble with are some of the number activities, but most importantly, the Write activity. I did a lot of online research about how to switch the language, and I ended up following some steps in Terminal, but I'm not sure if I messed up or what because now I have to restore the computer back to factory settings. If you have any ideas about how I could approach this problem, that would be much appreciated.</div><div> </div><div>Thank you so much for your time!</div><span><font color="#888888"><div> </div><div>Sarah Naguib</div></font></span></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div></blockquote></div></div></div>
