Typing in Hebrew, Persian or Arabic

You can type in Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic in a hotComm room with right-to-left typing. Please use revision 7.50.048 or higher (released 9/22/09).

Notes:

1.	Configure Windows for right-to-left typing For Windows XP In Control Panel, Regional & Language, under the Language tab, make sure that the check box is checked for Supplemental Language Support for Right-to-left typing. For Vista For Vista, in Control Panel, Regional & Language, make sure you select a keyboard that supports right-to-left typing.
2.	When you switch to Hebrew, Persian, or Arabic, your hotComm automatically switches to "Line-by-line" instead of "Word-by-Word". It then stays set to "Line-by-Line". To see whether your current line mode setting is "Line-by-Line" or "Word-by-Word", click Preferences if you are using hotComm CL, or Options if you are using hotComm Lite or hotComm Standard/Pro. Note: If "Word-by-Word" or "Line-by-Line" is grayed out and you want to change it yourself, click Click Session, then Close this Session to disconnect from the room. Then click Preferences or Options again.
3.	We expect that you are using a defined key sequence such as left-alt + shift to switch between languages.
4.	Private Messages are single language. You can send a Private Message in Hebrew, Persian, Arabic, English or other language, but only in the one language. Switch to the language you want before you start the Private Message. Once you open the Private Message window, any language switch will not work.
5.	If you are switching language during a line (such as typing words in Hebrew, Persian or Arabic and stock symbols and numbers in English), make sure that you select the non-English language before you press Enter. For example, if you type in Hebrew, Persian or Arabic, but English is selected when you press Enter, the characters appear as question marks, such as ?????????.
