arabic language pack

I have windows vista home premium edition, how can I type arabic font? I
understand that I need to download arabic language support pack, where can I
find it? I used to have windows xp and the arabic language support was
already there. I have hard time believe that the newer windows version makes
it more difficult ! Thanks for your answers

Open Help and Support and search for Add an input language. This will show
you the step by step procedure.

RE: arabic language pack

If all you you want to is to type in Arabic, the only thing you need to do is
enable an Arabic keyboard:

Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region: Change keyboards or other input
methods.


If you want your UI to be in Arabic, then you need a premium edition to get
UI language packs in alternate languages.
