I'm used to create Arabic Beamer presentations with the arabtex
package, but with arabtex
there are many environments (like enumerate
) can not be used, for this I would like to write arabic using new packages such as arabi
or polyglossia
.
I tried writing my presentations with these new packages but I always set problems of alignment especially with the polyglossia
package .
My aim is to learn the best and easier way to create beamer presentation with arabic script with examples of that
my MWE with arabtex
\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\author{Me}
\title{Arabic in Beamer}
\begin{document}
\novocalize
\begin{frame}{}
\titlepage
\end{frame}
\begin{frame}{\begin{arabtext}
al-^sry.hT al-'awlY
\end{arabtext}}
\begin{arabtext}
$-1$ n.s `rby\\
$-2$ n.s `rby
\end{arabtext}
\begin{enumerate}
\item \RL{n.s `rby}
\item \RL{n.s `rby}
\end{enumerate}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

This is not an answer but a clarification of the question, a clarification which won’t fit into a comment but which may put our wizards on the right track.
Here’s a small example (I use the
20pt
option only to make the image big and clear):The problem is that, although the words go from right to left, as they should, they’re in the left part of the frame instead of the right.
\usetheme{Singapore}
will put the title in the center, where it looks fine, but the enumeration is still on the left. And\usetheme{Warsaw}
makes the enumeration disappear altogether. So I suspect that each theme will need its own patches…Until a solution for
beamer
appears, you can make something suitable for presentations, though not as pretty asbeamer
, withtexpower
and thescreen
option of thegeometry
package:
