Hi,
We are currently working on a Silverlight 3 project that requires the UI to be translatable into various languages. This needs to include support for non Latin character sets (initially Cyrillic and Arabic scripts).
Much of the research that is available online suggests that people have had problems with the fonts to support this. Our testing at this point is to verify that Silverlight 3 is a viable choice for this project.
Our initial results have not raised any issues with supporting Latin, Cyrillic or Arabic scripts, although all testing has been done on local machines. However even with clean XP installs, and downloading Silverlight on demand from the browser, we were able to get the Latin, Arabic and Cyrillic displayed. We have had a few sledgehammer moments for dealing with the right to left flow, but mostly they have been overcome.
Have we missed the point and the problems? Any pointers or issues we should be aware of?
Thanks
