I'm trying to watch a movie on my computer and here is what comes on the screen instead of Arabic subtitles:

*The video is in .avi format and the subtitles are in .srt format.
*The video and subtitle both have the same file name so that is not the issue
*Languages like English/German work.

Why the hell would you want Arabic subtitles anyway?

My guess is you don't have the correct font installed...

Trying to improve my reading in Arabic by watching movies with Arabic subtitles. I have yet to read Arabic(not including names of places) in over 2 years.

Did that already.

I'm just really interested in how they translate into Arabic writing.

Yeah, liq already warned me about that. I'm assuming it's for the other users?

Just PM me any possible solutions that you might not be able to post.

Do you have Arabic language support installed?

Also, subs are never an exact word for word translation.

No.

Honestly, I'm not sure but I'm leaning heavily towards no.

Do you know where I may get it from?
