Problem with writing arabic into excel

[mostafanfs]

How can I write arabic characters into an excel file using LV2010 ?
I've tried different ways even using "Report Generation for Microsoft Office Toolkit" but what I'm seeing in excel is not arabic characters.

There is just some strange characters ....
Please help. It's urgent

Hi mostafi,

If you open the LabVIEW example finder, from the help menu, and select "toolkits and modules > Report Generation for Microsoft Office > Sample Report Excel.vi"

In this example if you write Arabic characters into the text box of the example and run the example do the Arabic characters appear correctly in Excel?

[mostafanfs]

on Windows7 (x64) , NO. Does not appear correctly  (only on XP)

I've also changed "Font Settings" in "Excel Easy Text.vi" but nothing changed

Hi mostafi,

Are you using the same version of Excel on both you XP and W7 computer?  Are the same character sets installed on both computers?  It is seeming as though excel is not recognizing the character set and returning the integer value for the character.

Please verify these and post what you have found.

I know it sounds a little late !

But I found solution on windows language options setting

By changing some settings like language, format, country and ... in Control Panel

Thank you anyway

Hello Mostafi,

I am developing an application with different languages including Arabic,

I am reading different languages from .Xls file.

Can you please GUID me how did you configure Arabic.

Hi Mr_Tejaskumar,

It's my understanding that you're trying to read in a string that represent multiple languages from an excel file.  

Could you give us some more specifics on your issue? What do you mean by configure Arabic?

Mr_Tejaskumar, ...

What is it exactly you want to know?

I didnt want to read anything. I just wanted to write something in an Excel file which some of characters were in Arabic. At first when I opened Excel file it was kind of strange. So what I did was reconfigure Windows Language Settings ("Change System Local" in "Region and Language" window) into Arabic. After a Restart, LabVIEW handled Arabic characters pretty well. Thats all. 
So whats your problem ?

Hi Kumar,

I'm not sure which characters exactly you are using in your Excel file, but this document may help:

By default LabVIEW is setup to use UTF-8, which may be why you don't get a correct encoding for some of those characters when you read them.
