Last updated on: May 22, 2026 | ⏱ 5 min read

As per government orders, printing sales and POS invoices in Arabic or bilingual is mandatory. With TallyPrime Release 6.0 & TallyPrime Edit Log 6.0, you can print sales and POS invoices in Arabic or bilingual for businesses in any country where tax is not applicable, for example, Kuwait and Qatar. In countries where tax applies, you can print invoices in Arabic or bilingual as usual, whether tax is enabled or not.

Questions & Answers

  1. Why do I see some text in Arabic and some in English when using Arabic or bilingual formats?
    If you are using an old language dictionary, then you may see some text in English along with Arabic. You need to download the latest dictionary to view all the strings in Arabic.
    Gateway of Tally > press F1 (Help) > Settings > Language > click on Add Language > select Arabic.
  2. Can I add declaration in Arabic language?
    Yes, you can add the declaration in Arabic. To learn more, click here.
  3. Can I set a default Arabic translation for the phrase ‘This is a Computer-Generated Invoice’?
    The text ‘This is a Computer-Generated Invoice’ is a customizable field, allowing you to define it according to your preference. To learn more, click here.
    However, it is important to note that if this text is configured in Arabic and you print the invoice in English later, the Arabic version will still be displayed. To revert to English, you must manually update the text in the Print Configuration.
  4. Why is the amount in words still appearing in English even after switching to Arabic in the invoice?
    This happens when you have printed the invoice initially in bilingual mode and then switched to single-language mode (Arabic) without updating the relevant print settings. To learn how to change the amount in words to Arabic, click here.
  5. How can I save the invoice in PDF?
    Open an invoice, press Ctrl+P (Print), and select the printer as any PDF writer and save the invoice; this will work like exporting to PDF. To learn more, click here.
