I'm not sure this will help, but nothing else crosses my mind.

You could, if possible, use the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE, such as in the following example. I (but perhaps someone else does) don't know how to make the same application work in two different languages, but this. (Note that I don't have the arabic fonts installed)
SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = croatian') today from dual;

TODAY
--------------------
31-sij-2010

SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = english') today from dual;

TODAY
--------------------
31-jan-2010

SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = french') today from dual;

TODAY
----------------------------
31-janv.-2010

SQL> select to_char(sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy', 'nls_date_language = arabic') today from dual;

TODAY
--------------------------------
31-┐┐┐┐┐ -2010

SQL>

actually the problem comes when i display the calendar on a form to select a date...all the dates come in english,all months and year names appear in arabic....bt we have a mix of users max of whom know english...so i wan to display my calendar in English(though many places we need arabic fonts also)...

so what i tried is that in the form,i wrote :
forms_ddl('alter session set nls_calendar=gregorian');
nls_date_language=american
nls_language=american
nls_territory=america

bt still no effect

so what do u suggest ?
thanks and regards
Charu
