    Hi All,

    I hope this is the right spot to be putting this. It seems to fit best from all the categories.

    Here is my issue:

    I am using wordpress at http://www.moroccoblogs.com and so far I have focused on English and French language blogs. I want to start showing Arabic language blogs but I want to show the original script and the translation. The problem is that when put the Arabic script in my post, it formats wrong and then displays as nonsense characters.

    My blog is English based, I don't want to change that. I just want to be able to show the original post in Arabic too since many of my readers are multi lingual and translation from Arabic to English are often tenuous.

    Is there a plugin or setting anyone can recommend to solve this problem of displaying two languages in one post?

    Thank you.

    Does the use of HTML &#char; (where char ranges from around 1500 to 1970) help?
