I only tried debug.print.

Try my little db, no point reinventing the wheel.

Paul,
Great advice. Works on form control in various languages.

PS: I was already reinventing

Yes, I found it later and I only have English (United Kingdom) which is all I need.

Arabic works in my tables. Must be something with the VBE.

[isladogs]

The VBE including the Immediate window does not allow the display of non-Latin character sets
Instead it will display as a series of question marks as shown in post #13

This is unfortunately also true for standard message boxes and input boxes
One way of successfully displaying languages such as Arabic, Malayalam etc is by using the Eval function

I do so in my free Formatted Message Box and Unicode Input Box apps. See my article: Translation Tools (isladogs.co.uk) and the linked pages.
My Translate & Speak app displays text for any language in textboxes. This includes R2L languages such as Arabic and Hebrew

It is not necessary to install each of the languages in order to use them in textboxes etc

Thanks Colin. Good advice and link.

Hi all,
Sorry for the delay, but I was away on business.
I have installed the Arabic language on Windows 11, but I also get the "???? ??????" when translating to Arabic. I wonder if there should not be a specific driver installed as well. Translating to, for example Swedish or Greek, it works fine, but not for Arabic.

I could not find any drivers that need to be installed to enable translation to Arabic.

Maybe I am missing something....

[isladogs]

Hi all,
Maybe I am missing something....

Yes - did you read post #24?

[DC CS]

Hi isladogs - sorry, I did not read the messages on the 2nd page.
I have tried the translate app as posted by Welshgasman and it is doing what I need. I have just mailed the translation to my colleague in Kuwait to check if the translation is accurate.

Thanks for everybody's input in resolving this issue.

Well that was just created using the code @Moke123 supplied in post 2, so the credit goes to him.
