<?i need to run quickcart in arabic, so i started translating the V2.2 of the cart . 
every thing is going on correctly.
BUT, the problem is when the customer enters his personal data in ARABIC. then he clicks on "send button", he got a message containing "Your order has been saved and will be sent as soon as possible" 

But his personal data that was written in arabic are all blank.

amr - try to add setlocale in config/general.php file, but i don't know what should be set for your language, for polish it is like:
setlocale( LC_ALL, 'pl_PL' );
you can try search more on:
http://pl.php.net/manual/en/function.setlocale.php
Check also if your server have installed arabic locale.

Thanks merci for your help,

unfortunately i could not get it to work with set locale like this,
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'Arabic');

but when i tried another free web host it worked, may be it supports arabic locale directly,

but my paid host doesn't support arabic,

any help will be appreciated.

Try one of the following language locales in
setlocale( LC_ALL, 'xx_XX' );

ar_AE: Arabic - United Arab Emirates ar_BH: Arabic - Bahrain
ar_DZ: Arabic - Algeria ar_EG: Arabic - Egypt
ar_IN: Arabic - Iran ar_IQ: Arabic - Iraq
ar_JO: Arabic - Jordan ar_KW: Arabic - Kuwait
ar_LB: Arabic - Lebanon ar_LY: Arabic - Libya
ar_MA: Arabic - Morocco ar_OM: Arabic - Oman
ar_QA: Arabic - Qatar ar_SA: Arabic - Saudi Arabia

The iso language onfiguration for Q.C2.2 is in the /lang/ folder.
Your new Arabic translation should be in /lang/ar.php.
Try
$config['charset'] = 'iso-8859-6';
which will tell servers that Arabic is expected as the language for this site.
