I recently found that the Mac arabic keyboard layouts available online didn't work on my computer. I happen to work with a macbook pro with windows installed as a second OS option.. I wanted to use the Arabic language for writing my files , and then i discovered that the arabic mapping was different. I went online and i tried the popular Aktub and moeys arabic layouts , both didn't work for me :( .. I couldn't really identify the problem ,both will install just fine , but will not enable the layout on my 64 bit windows 7 machine.. Anyway , i searched online and i found this amazing tool from Microsoft , it's called The Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator , and this is actually the tool that the mentioned website used to create their keyboard layouts. So , i created my own layout , and I also published it on GitHub , an open repository for code and downloads, so that people can re-create their own keyboards from the current layout if they want to...
Download Link @ github : here

Additional instructions to use the download :
- Download the zip files from the link above
- extract to a location you'll remember
- Run the Setup ,then you'll have the language automatically added on
- Use Alt+Shift to switch the language
Very nice and helpful.

ReplyDeleteWhere could we buy that Arabic keyboard? It looks good! I think this would help me translate Arabic to English a lot more easier.
ReplyDeleteYou basically search for QWERTY Mac Arabic keyboard on amazon , you'll surely get it.

If you're talking about the above software, It's free , just follow the links above
DeletePlease update the full stop symbol to standard full stop (Unicode 002e) which is used in Arabic language instead of (Unicode 06d4) which is used exclusively in Urdu language.
