Hi,
Arabic QA
1) is every table in your database utf8? This question needs to be answered for real, which means actually looking in there. A number of plugins will let you take a peek. many people have swedish set. This may be worth taking a look at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/utf-8-db-converter/
2) Take a look in your wp-config file, what do you have for db_charset and db_ collate. (utf8) and for collate it can be a few different ones, but always beginning with utf8
3) Take a look at your .htaccess file and see if you have something like
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
You can also keep everything in latin characters and inside htaccess file map the arabic right over the latin so just like pretty permalinks, nobody would know that there is something else under arabic.

Yes you can have an image clicked that will open up into a light-box playing a video. The theme uses prettyPhoto, and I looked on the website and there are examples.

It must be possible to do with portfolio, though I am not sure which file needs to be modfied but /includes/helper-slideshow.php would be where I'd start and avia.js. I will look into this more.
Changing Slug
In the backend, go to Angular > Theme Options> Portfolio ... First Option on that page.
Thanks,
Nick
