Notepad on windows 11 can't display old text files with Arabic letters, is threr any solution to that?

Only the Arabic contents of some text files became displayed as encrypted.

Hi,

Based on the information that you've provided, the text file that you've opened was created from a
Windows 7 system. This may indicate the text file is using an older text format which may cause compatibility issue. To isolate your concern, we suggest that you set the region and language option to
Arabic. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Click the Start menu or Windows icon.
  
• Select Settings or the cog icon.
• Select Time & Language.
• Under Related settings, click the Additional date, time, & regional settings link.
• Click Region.
• Click the Administrative tab.
• Under the Language for non Unicode programs section, click the Change system locale button.
• Change it to Arabic.
• Click OK.

Once you're done, check if the issue persists.

We'll appreciate if you can send us an update.

 

Arabic language support for Notepad (Windows 10)

Hello,

I am using Windows 10 currently. I have some old Notepad documents that have been created originally in Arabic language. I am unable to read the texts. The characters appear as "ÈÇÏÇ....." which is not Arabic.

I downloaded already the pack for the Arabic language in Windows 10. I can create and read Arabic documents with Word. However, I still can't read these Notepad files.

Your help will be very appreciated.

Thank you

Thanks a lot,

I had just tried setting up that(Yemen-Arabic), and then I asked to restart my Windows to let changes take effect.

I have tried restarting it. Then, all those text files having Arabic contents were shown as expected. However, you think then I should stick on these settings without being faced with any issue.
