Hi Mehdib,

welcome to the forum!

Sure, simply write it on the same page. Or was there any issue? If yes, let us know, with a code example.
Regarding language and hyphenation, you can

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[french,arabic]{babel}
\begin{document}
\begin{otherlanguage}{french}
french text
\end{otherlanguage}
arabic text
\end{document}

Besides that, it's switching fonts.

Stefan

Thank you for the response.

to write in arabic we must change the language
when I compile to pdf i have this error message
" \documentclass{
article}
The document may only declare one class."


thanks.

Yes, use the command \documentclass only one time. That's the very basic setup of a document, only done one time. If you use a template (that uses \documentclass) you cannot change it later. You may post your document code here, to check, if you like.
