Product: Installation
Component: i18n
Summary: If we choose Arabic as the primary language, iocharset
should be set to utf8 whether we checked "Use Unicode by
default" or not.
Product: Installation

During the installation one will be faced with the dialog box of "Please choose a
language to use." If we choose Arabic either as the primary language or as extra
supported language the "Use Unicode by default" option should be irrelevant and have
no effect at all, as we are already in UTF-8 (it would be of use for people installing
in
French, which by default uses iso-8859-15, if they want UTF-8 instead). Actually this
is
not the case. Checking this option will affect "/etc/fstab" 'iocharset' option and put
'iocharset=utf8' instead of 'iocharset=iso8859-1' which allow you to read Arabic
filenames in windows partitions. In summary iocharset should be set to utf8 whether we
checked that option or not.
