I need to put some more Arabic text on my test wiki in order to prove to myself that it actually works. And in order to do that, I need to build emacs-bidi again. I wonder if there’s any other simple-to-use editor that allows Arabic input from a German keyboard...

Arabeyes Projects lists Katoob as a likely candidate. Downloading the source and building it was effortless.

Arabeyes Projects

Katoob

./configure
make
make prefix=/usr/local/stow/katoob
su root
cd /usr/local/stow
stow katoob

Now I just need to find documentation for the Arabic keyboard emulator.

It turns out that I didn’t need it for http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/test/Arabic – I just copied the preamble of the Declaration of Human Rights...
