how to get right alignment for section and subsection in the table of contents in latex for arabic language?

Question

I am using Arabic language so the alignment should be from the right to left.

What I have so far for the table of contents is:

and I have three problems:

1. the roman numbering doesn't apply for the pages before chapter 1 (المبحث ١: علوم الحاسوب)
2. The right alignment for the section and subsection is wrong and I tried all the solutions on this website and couldn't fix it.
3. I want to change the chapter numbering to alphabetical one. Instead of chapter 1, I wanted chapter one. In my case for the Arabic version, instead of (المبحث ١) I want (المبحث الأول).

My code is

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[LFE,LAE]{fontenc}
\usepackage[arabic]{babel}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\usepackage{setspace}

\usepackage{titlesec}


\usepackage{tocloft}


\usepackage{titletoc}%
\titlecontents{chapter}% <section-type>
[0pt]% <left>
{\bfseries}% <above-code>
{\chaptername\ \thecontentslabel:\quad}% <numbered-entry-format>
{}% <numberless-entry-format>
{\hfill\contentspage}% <filler-page-format>




\addto\captionsarabic{%
\renewcommand\chaptername{المبحث}
}

\addto{\captionsarabic}{\renewcommand*{\contentsname}{قائمة المحتويات}}

My problem now is the Chapter numbering doesn't match the section numbering. I wanted before to change the chapter number to letter instead like chapter 1 to Chapter One and I succeeded in that applying Pieter van Oostrum suggestion but now I am having another problem which is the section numbering is also converted to the letters like 1.1 is converted to One.1 and I don't want this behavior. Is there any solution for this.

Answer 1

I guess the first two problems are caused by arabtex and babel. For some reason the page numbers are written to the .aux and .toc files without any formatting. That is the reason it doesn't use roman numbering. And anyway, the \pagenumbering{roman} should be done before the \tableofcontents just in case that takes more than one page. Also there must be a \clearpage or \newpage before \pagenumbering{arabic}.

I would suggest to forget arabtex and babel, and instead run XeTeX and polyglossia instead.

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

The third problem could have been solved by fmtcount, as @Simon Dispa writes, but that doesn't support Arabic, unfortunately. You could try to make a copy, for example of the Spanish or French files, but that would be a lot of work. As you need only a few numbers, I think you can do it yourself, see the following code and replace the English words with Arabic ones.

\newcommand\numberstring[1]{%
  \ifcase #1
  % zero
  \or one%
  \or two%
  \or three%
  \or four%
  \or five%
  \or six%
  \or seven%
  \else I don't know%
  \fi
}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\numberstring{\c@chapter}}
\makeatother

Answer 2

If LuaLaTeX is an option (I strongly recommend it) and your system is up to date, try the following preamble (the document body is the same). There are a few comments:

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}

% Basic setup for Arabic. With the second option
% counters are (visually) subsec.sec.chap.
\usepackage[bidi=basic, layout=counters]{babel}

% Load the locale and define a new counter for it, with
% a space-separated list.
\babelprovide[
  import, main,
  counters/alphabetic = واحد إثنان ثلاثة أربعة خمسة]
  {arabic}

\babelfont{rm}{Amiri}

% Redefine the chapter ‘number’. It's now based on the
% counter just defined.
\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\localecounter{alphabetic}{chapter}}

\setlocalecaption{arabic}{chapter}{المبحث}
\setlocalecaption{arabic}{contents}{قائمة المحتويات}

\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{titletoc}%

% These are the setting in the OP. Note the overlapping
% because the chapter ‘number’ is long. 
\titlecontents{chapter}% <section-type>
  [0pt]% <left>
  {\bfseries}% <above-code>
  {\chaptername\ \thecontentslabel:\quad}% <numbered-entry-format>
  {}% <numberless-entry-format>
  {\hfill\contentspage}% <filler-page-format>

\title{\Huge\textsc{اللغة العربية}}
\author{سالم البوزيدي} 

Answer 3

I couldn't compile in Arabic, nor from right to left, so I made a mockup of your document in another language (Spanish, using some fake Spanish words) to avoid English and check the settings.

1. \pagenumbering{arabic} should be after the first numbered chapter.

2. Using

    \usepackage{fmtcount}
    \renewcommand{\thechapter}{\numberstring{chapter}} % or \Numberstring
   

you can change from chapter 1 to chapter one, etc. Note also the \def\captionsspanish{% to change the names from their default for the language.

3. Section and subsection alignment looks correct after defining \titlecontents{section} and \titlecontents{subsection} (I reproduce the same setup you used for the chapter), but I don't know what happens to the writing from right to left!
