I'm trying to typeset an Arabic book with Arabic bibliography, I'm using bib module, but bibtex doesn't support unicode. Any workaround or another alternative?

Can you port your database to bbl format -- \start-stoppublication -- and just use the bib module without bibtex?

Thanks for the tip, that worked for me. Regards, -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localizer and member of Arabeyes.org team
