unable to set direction right to left in arabic text

Question

I need to insert arabic text. It works fine but text display is from left to right. How can I deal with that.

\usepackage{polyglossia}

\setmainlanguage{french}

\setotherlanguage{arabic}

 \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script = Arabic]{Simplified Arabic}

 \begin{document}

\begin{vcenterpage}

{\large\textbf{\textarabic{ملخص} }}\\

\noindent\rule[2pt]{\textwidth}{0.5pt}

\begin{Arabic}

 \end{Arabic}

 {\large\textbf{

 \begin{Arabic}

 الكلمات المفاتيح: التسويق الالكتروني، السوق

 \end{Arabic}

  }}

 \noindent\rule[2pt]{\textwidth}{0.5pt}

  \end{vcenterpage}

 \end{document}

Best regards

Answer 1

I created an example for you since yours wasn't functional, and it seems that setting your arabic text within an arabic environment gives you what you want (RTL starting on right side of page):

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{french}
\setotherlanguage{arabic}
 \newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script = Arabic]{Simplified Arabic}

\begin{document}

1. \textarabic{الكلمات المفاتيح: التسويق الالكتروني، السوق.} \\

\begin{Arabic}
2. 
 الكلمات المفاتيح: التسويق الالكتروني، السوق.

\end{Arabic}

\end{document}
