Foreign languages - again!

Hi there, I really love your work - it certainly makes live easier. well done. I am interested in developing a small app in Arabic. However, every time I input Arabic characters in the forms (completely different set than English), they come out as ?????? in the online simulator. Is there a way one can chose which language/set to use from your online dev tool? Additionally, and thats a smaller problem, can we chose weather the menus and submenus expand to the left rather than the right as currently is the default (Arabic is a right-to-left language and its more intuitive for menus to expand to the left). perhaps add a RTL/LTR option? Thanks again.

Good stuff. The new version of our software addresses some of the language issues. It's not released to public yet but is being tested and adjusted by a very large audience. To get this release, send an email to info at buzztouch.com with Early Adopter in the subject line. Q: Do iPhones / Android in Arabic countries slide to left like you descirbe? Interesting.

email sent already. I am an iphone user and NO, the menus normally slide to the right (opposite to what you'd expect) and the text is normally aligned to the left (opposite to what you'd expect). Nothing can be done about that, is there?
