# Writing book in Arabic — Only the Equations in English/Latin

## Question

I want to write a book in Arabic (I have an Arabic keyboard, so I don't need a converter). By Arabic book I mean literally Arabic:

• title,
• etc

all in Arabic.

The equations, however, I want to write them in English/Latin.

This link helped a lot but it was for Arabic texts in an English main document.

Is there arabic latex allow me to write mathematical paper with question arabic and latine math?

I already checked these two (and plenty other sites).

• MiKTeX is good. I don't think that there are significant differences between the LaTeX distributions. In addition, I edited your question. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Jul 23 '17 at 22:55
• What do you mean with English equations? Do you mean Latin alphabet like \sin and \cos together with Arabic numerals :)? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_numerals – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Jul 23 '17 at 22:57

• Ok. You can edit your question yourself in the future. Going to bed now. Good luck. – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Jul 23 '17 at 23:06

You can certainly do this using XeTeX and polyglossia. In the preamble of your document, you should do the following:

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{arabic}
\setotherlanguage{english}

ואז אנחנו רואים
