Outlook help needed..

ProPokerPlayer · Jun 4, 2008

The computer i have was given to me by a friend who bought it to use while he was in Iraq working as an interpretor. He is from Iraq.
Anyway everything works fine except that when i try to type an email it comes out in Arabic symbols instead of english letters. I can type in the email addy and subject line just fine but any content in the body of the letter comes out in Arabic. there must be something im not finding to change it.............Help!!!!!!!!!

If you changed it to English, you might need to close Outlook and reopen for changes to take effect

Dunno...Never used that program

"JET???"

Obviously that fractured email has a tie-in to the events of 9/11

Yeah, I'm guessing I don't get the $10, heh.

Damn google needs to work on that translator.

i think the difference is the translator translates a prase.....while PPP simply typed english words....

you have to break it down by character, and compare to what english keyboard stroke made each character.
