I already have two Windows Arabic keyboard layouts on my iDisk, but it seems they may not be exactly right, so I have now put up another one which should match that provided with Windows Vista, seenhere (use Opera if it doesn't display right in your current browser):
The new layout is named WinVArabic101.keylayout and can be downloaded directly here:

Let me know if you have any problems with it.

Thank you so much .
I have two Macs both with 10.4.10. One displays Arabic correctly, the other displays it in the right order, but unconnected. In Safari and TextEdit.
Unconnected is caused by having certain Windows Arabic fonts on your machine. See the Browser Issues section of this note:

example for arabic keyboard layout.

Hi,
thanks my keyboard works now, just one thing i need to reboot for the keyboard appear in the list...
TOM, i am using Windows XP 32 in a Virtual machine (Fusion v2.0) on my MacBook (latest model). I have a problem writing Arabic. My windows arabic keyboard layout does not match the Mac's keyboard character distribution! What can I do? Is there an Arabic-MAC-layout that installs in window to allow the use of a MAC keyboard? Thank u.
Sorry, I don't know how that works when you are running Windows like that. I guess installing my Windows arabic layout on the Mac does not help?
Tom, thanks but i found what i was looking for here (http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/arabicdev/windows/winxp/arabicmackb.aspx).
