Hello Mark, I've used used progress and Hebrew (which is also r2l) for many years on both gui and chui, windows and linux, with english l2r labels and all hebrew r2l ui's. Codepages are not a problem whether it's the traditional single byte codepage or unicode codepages. If you have a mix of gui and chui ui's, you will need to be aware of the bi-directional algorithm (bidi). In gui, text is displayed in the order it is written (r2l for arabic and hebrew) and stored in the order it is read. In chui, text is displayed in the same way it is stored which is in the order it is written, and which is a problem for sorting, indexing etc. and does not match with gui. I can provide further examples. Progress does not have support for bidi. If you are going to have a complete Arabic labels and r2l ui and your framework or application does not support it then it could be a huge redesign. I'm more in favor of web ui's and would be happy to recommend ui frameworks, I've used. HTH
