Wordpress, Japanese sentence being displayed from right to the left - wordpress

I'm using Wordpress 3.2.1. In the back-end (admin area) everything is in English but I want to display some Japanese in the front-end.
When editing a post I type Japanese and everything looks ok in the editor but once I save it and view the page it shows the text from right to left.
How can I avoid this behavior and have Japanese displayed from left to right.

I don't think it's an encoding problem but rather something to do with the css, if you have your site online mind giving a link? Otherwise check your style-sheets taking into account the following: http://codex.wordpress.org/Right_to_Left_Language_Support

There is a plug in called polylang for wordpress that can solve your problems : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/polylang/

Wordpress permalink direct to image jpg?

I have a couple of images which I want to link to externally. (Essentially they will be used in email headers and things of that sort that are sent to users).
I uploaded them in the wordpress media library and edited their slugs, so I have nice permalinks like:
www.example.com/image1
However when I enter that URL in the browser I just get the "This page doesn't seem to exist." page.
Permalinks for normal posts work fine.
The links to the actual image works fine too, but it is ugly (and shows unnecessary details like the fact that it is backed by wordpress and the date etc.), something like:
www.example.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/v2_2.jpg
Is there a way to permalink directly to the images?
Can you actually see the slug on the image's media page? In my case it says "Permalink: https://www.apothekarium.de/giftschein_arsen_1877/" when I go to the media library, then click on the image, then click "edit image" and then click "edit more details".
However, even if you get this right, I think the result may not be what you are after. Look at my link: https://www.apothekarium.de/giftschein_arsen_1877/
While it does work, it does not show the image itself, but a page that contains the image. So this would be completely unsuitable for linking to it from an external site and I suppose that is what you are after.
So my answer to your question, as I understood it, is: no, that does not seem to be possible in Wordpress proper.
You could of course solve the problem externally, e. g. in your webserver config.

Wordpress - how to edit homepage

I've just had a website converted for me to Wordpress but the guy who did it has now disappeared!
I just need to get started with it but have hit some major obstacles. My home page is a series of blocks with images and text that respond very nicely to different devices. Trouble is when I go to Pages then Home, I'm faced with a completely blank edit box. Two hours of searching to find where these blocks are and how to edit them has failed.
Any help please!
Open up your theme customizer and at the very bottom you can chose a static front page. Here's where you settle this.
Go to Pages in the panel. Open that specific page "Home" and look which template who has been chosen for this page. Perhaps you'll find the right template.
However, it could be hard coded directly in the doc/file itself. Open up your text editor and search for a template i.e home.php or frontpage.php or something similar. Open up in text editor to see.
After another few hours of trial and error, the front page text is in a few places! Some of it is in posts, specifically the "blocks" containing text and images in paragraphs. Other parts can be found by going to Appearance | Editor then choosing Static Front Page. I've yet to find out exactly how these are made to appear on the Home page but I guess I'll get there with experimentation.

WordPress posts in a different language

i have a website in WordPress and i want to type the posts directly in "Gujarati" language. i know that i cannot type directly, so first i type it in MS word and then i copy and paste the content in the website...but when i paste it, it doesn't show the correct language (it shows some symbolic fonts)... so i got to know from somewhere that the posts are typed in Unicode fonts only
so for unicode fonts.. google translate/google tool kit can be used.. now i am able to copy and paste in the post. but now when i hit publish/update the post, the content is not shown in the website.
i have attached the links... please view
first link shows the dashboard where i have pasted the content(in unicode).. and the second one is the place where you can read the post in the website
so can anybody help me with this?
please correct me if i am wrong somewhere or please give me suggestions or may be alternate method to do this?...

From what I can see, it looks as if your permalinks have been screwed up in the process with the post names unicode characters. You are safest to go change the permalink structure to the default.
wp-admin --> settings --> permalinks --> default

Wordpress, excerpts and Image Links

Quickinfo:
I am using wordpress 3.5.1 with the latest version of the "FancyBox
for WordPress" -Plugin.
I use the more-Tag for all articles, making
only excerpts of them beeing shown on the start-page.
Facts:
In wordpress image-thumbnails included in the article are enclosed
in a link pointing to the image-url by default.
The Fancybox-Plugin makes such Links open the image in a jQuery Fancybox.
My Problem:
Sometimes I show images in the excerpts, too.
At this time theres happening an usability-flaw:
When clicking on the Image a fancybox will open, but people expect to get redirected to the full article instead.
Is anyone aware of a solution how to overcome this issue, maybee by using an other plugin, changing the structure of my articles or editing some php-files?
I don't know about the plugin you are using but I've always used colorbox. There's a plugin for it designed for wordpress and it allows you to specify which images you want to open in a jquery window.
