file naming with non roman script

Spenjoyere1948 · 06-03-2018, 08:53 AM

i have some arabic books and their titles are in arabic script. in the library they are named correctly and their titles and author info is in arabic script and is displayed correctly. but when i convert them or use the save to disk option they (the .epub file) are named using roman script instead which is just gibberish. any idea on how to force calibre to name arabic books (.epub file after conversion) using arabic script instead of roman script?

i tried changing the Caliber's language to Arabic but it still the file names are in arabic.

thanks

Calibre menu path Preferences > Import/Export > Saving Books to Disk > Convert non-English characters to English equivalents. Uncheck the checkbox. Save.

You cannot change the names inside the calibre library. As for save to disk, use Preferences->saving to disk->Convert non-english to english (turn it off)
