[leglug-users] arabic subtitles with totem

[Alaa Salman]

Well, are you sure you have the latest version(0.8.6)? Did you check the
prefs->input codecs->subtitles->utf-8 option?
Other than that, a quick look reveals a lot of resolutions, try
forum.videolan.org and search for the word arabic. Unfortunately, the
resolutions are too many for me to tell you about them, so you'll have to
try them one by one to see if any one fits your problem.

Regards,
Alaa Salman
