    Hi,

    I want to create HTML/XHTML page containing text written in the Arabic or Hebrew (right-to-left). Each time i copy and paste the hebrew translation, dreamweaver puts the words back to front.
    kindly let me know any solution to code PAGE in Arabic or Hebrew language.

    Thanks

    Hebrew follow "Right to Left" pattern when user write and English follows "left to right" pattern when user write.
    please have a glance at e.g. http://www.haaretz.co.il/ , It will give you exact idea what I'm looking for.

    ==> Your first issue is to stop using Dreamweaver!

    ==> If you're copy / pasting from a "doc" you're probably taking in the extra formatting data - so copy/paste to notepad(or similar) then copy/paste again - this removes all formatting data from the copied text.

    Workingsmart is on the right track. Step one, stop using that fat bloated overpriced steaming pile of rat **** known as Dreamweaver. Step two, work with a UTF-8 character encoding, step 3, set the document to right to left... easiest way for that is dir="RTL" on the HTML tag.

    ... and if you use a regular flat text editor instead of that stupid malfing wysiwyg and it's rubbish crippled code view, something like flo's notepad2, editplus, notepad++, text wrangler, gedit, etc, etc... it will retain less of the extra formatting garbage that makes it even harder to turn it into useful meaningful accessible HTML... meaning you wouldn't need that extra step workingsmart suggested of using such a editor 'in the middle'.

    Again, the only thing about Dreamweaver that can be considered professional grade tools are the people promoting it's use.

    -- edit -- oh, and word of warning, it may appear backwards in the editor, but render properly in browsers. RTL is... tricky to deal with that way.

    small suggestion: browse for the google (or equivalent) english-to-hebrew (or arabic) on-line translator.
    Then look at the source-code of that page. I know that google is using a lot of javascript,
    but this might give you some hints to explore further...
