  Is there a way to get the formatting buttons in the editor to display in English instead of Aribic? I’ve already checked the language settings in both areas, and they’re set to English.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t see Arabic anywhere in your blog’s Dashboard, including in your post editor. If you are still experiencing this issue, could you take a screenshot of the Arabic (or for that matter anything else that looks odd) and upload it to your media library for me to take a look at?

  Take a Screenshot

  It will also be helpful to know if this issue only occurs when you are performing a certain action, like saving or uploading content or something like that.

  Screenshot is located at http://wp.me/aVt2S-4k (in my WordPress Library named WordPress Editor1). And thank you for your assistance.

  It doesn’t look like this is a language issue. Instead, it seems that your browser isn’t displaying the buttons correctly.

  Here are a few things to try.

  1) Try logging out of WordPress.com, clear your browser cache, and then log back in. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clear-your-cache-and-cookies
  
  2) Update your browser
  3) Try a different browser, such as Chrome

  Let me know if anything fixes this issue, or if you are still experiencing the problem.

  OK, it’s a cookie issue. I’ve cleared wordpress.com and tycheenterprises.wordpress.com cookies and it still happens (but doesn’t happen with Chrome). One of the reasons I never liked the idea of cookies is because one can’t see the actual content that’s being ‘saved’ in them. Well, nevermind. I get started and it would just be a long rant on the way the industry has sacrificed security for corporate convenience. I’ll see what I can do about this from my end. Thanks for the info you gave me, and the help.

  Yeah, I totally understand your concern about cookies, but WordPress.com relies on them to maintain a persistent connection as you navigate around our site, so if you don’t have third-party cookies enabled, things won’t work consistently.
