FRITE- the rich text editor with Right-to-left languages

Posted on March 27th, 2009.

I have been working on adapting FRITE, the rich text editor to work with right to left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew and the results are here.

Arabic

FRITE Rich text editor in Arabic

Hebrew – Translation of “Here is how my Hebrew text should look like in FRITE” courtesy of

Frite- rich text editor in Hebrew

The only addition to the code was the following statement:

document.putProperty(”i18n”, Boolean.TRUE);

But I still need to validate the overall workflow with users that work with Arabic or Hebrew on a daily basis.

I guess the same applies for Persian, Urdu and other right to left languages.

@Mouhamed: No, Oracle reports does not take into accounts all of the HTML tags. If you want to process all of the available HTML tags, you will have to write your own handler in Reports, either 9i or 10g.

I’m busy working on a PJC spellchecker for forms. I think I can use your item for text highlighting in the spellchecker. For this however I would need the source of the item. Do you still supply the source?

Yes, I will send it to you. I will appreciate also that you give us some hints on how you would go about adding a spellchecker. Thanks.

@ali: You will need to have the urdu font available to your pdf. It depends on how you are generating your pdf, platform you are running your app (LINUX, UNIX, wnidows). There is a setup for Oracle reports to handle those fonts.

@Hafed,
I am using a Fajar Noori Nastalique (Western) for urdu and using MS Windows for apps. Kindly can you guide me how to add this font on in the reports builder/server. Also can you provide me your relase that you have worked on from Right to Left Languages.
Thanks for your prompt reply and help

Dear Hafed,
I am using your rich text editor in one of my project. However, I can’t generate report in PDF format. Could you please guide me how to generate report in PDF format? Appreciate your great work
