Irum,
Check at every stage of the pipeline to make sure you are getting the
right characters. For example, does the XML that gets saved to the SD
card have the right characters? Are you checking with a UTF-8
supported text editor like Notepad++? What about that data when it
gets to ODK Aggregate or ODK Briefcase? And what happens if you export
a CSV from either Aggregate or Briefcase?
Alternatively, maybe you can try a non-Arabic language with some
special characters. Do words with accents work (like été or François)
work as select options or text input?
Finally, what device and Android version are you using?

Dear Nathan,
Thanks for your reply, I have managed to get my ODK form present data in
Arabic i.e. the questions and options are presented in Arabic. Is there a
way so that the software takes Arabic data as well? Right now the data is
not stored in an understandable format and dummy characters and saved
instead of Aabic.
Would be extremely obliged for any support in this regard.
Thanks
Irum

Subject: Re: [ODK Developers] ODK form in Arabic
Hi Irum, What error message are you getting when you try to convert your
form? If you upload your xlsform to the mailing list or send it to me, I'll
be able to look into this issue further.
Regards,

Can anybody help?
I want to develop ODK form with data stored in English at the back end,
but on front end the questions are shown in Arabic. I have used XLSForm
form design, and keept:
hint::arabic
label::arabic
But I am unable to convert the .xls form to XML.
Any help on this point is highly appreciated
