I want to use Roman numbers and Arabic numbers in my thesis. the total language of the document is Arabic and I use command \pagenumbering to change page number's style. I tried most of the solutions that add command \clearpage or \cleardoublepage but it doesn't work. this is MWC :

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[LAE, T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[arabic, english]{babel}

\renewcommand{\I}[1]        {\if@farsi\FarsiEncoding\else\ArabicEncoding\fi\textLR{#1}}%
\renewcommand{\EI}[1]{\textLR{\FarsiEncoding  \textLR{#1}}}%
\renewcommand \thechapter {\textLR{\arabic{chapter}}}

\TOCLanguage{arabic} % arabic is the main language 
\newcommand\lr[1]{\textLR{#1}}
\newcommand\rl[1]{\textRL{#1}}

\begin{document}
\selectlanguage{arabic}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\chapter*{الملخص}
الملخص العربي 
\chapter*{\lr{Abstract}}
    \textLR{ English abstract\ldots}
\chapter*{كلمة الشكر}
نص باللغة العربية   
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables
\cleardoublepage

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\chapter{تجريب}
نص باللغة العربية\\

\end{document}

using the method suggested by @egreg the problem of page numbering has been solved but it changes the style of the table of contents, where the numbers changes into arabi-indi coding ?So is there any way to fix this problem? this is the method suggested by @egreg :

\makeatletter
\def\ps@plain{\ps@empty\SAV@ps@plain}
\makeatletter
\pagestyle{plain}

and this is the result of this change: result after redefine <code>plain</code>

By redefining command \pagenumbering as @egreg the problem of toc arabi-inidi coding has been solved and this is the suggested redefinition :

\pagenumbering{roman}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\protect\textLR{\roman{page}}}

then when arabic numbers is needed 

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\protect\textLR{\arabic{page}}}

and this is the result : enter image description here

The plain page style is redefined to always give \number\c@page.

You can revert this decision made by arabicore.sty. But I'm afraid you have to supplement the \pagenumbering declaration.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[LAE, T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[english,arabic]{babel}

\renewcommand{\I}[1]{\if@farsi\FarsiEncoding\else\ArabicEncoding\fi\textLR{#1}}%
\renewcommand{\EI}[1]{\textLR{\FarsiEncoding\textLR{#1}}}%
\renewcommand\thechapter{\textLR{\arabic{chapter}}}

\TOCLanguage{arabic} % arabic is the main language 
\newcommand\lr[1]{\textLR{#1}}
\newcommand\rl[1]{\textRL{#1}}

\makeatletter
\def\ps@plain{\ps@empty\SAV@ps@plain}
\makeatletter
\pagestyle{plain}

\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\protect\textLR{\roman{page}}}

\chapter*{الملخص}
الملخص العربي 

\begin{otherlanguage}{english}
\chapter*{Abstract}
English abstract
\end{otherlanguage}

\chapter*{كلمة الشكر}
نص باللغة العربية   

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\listoftables

\cleardoublepage
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\renewcommand{\thepage}{\protect\textLR{\arabic{page}}}

\chapter{تجريب}

\end{document}

  • could you please explain the differences between the following methods: the first one is what you define : \def\ps@plain{\ps@empty\SAV@ps@plain} and the other is define the counter \thepage and the change it's style, how t these methods are work? where could I find more information on this topic. – Ahmad Hafez Nov 07 '18 at 11:24
  • when I redefine plain the table of contents change it's style ,so what is the problem? – Ahmad Hafez Nov 07 '18 at 11:54

    @AhmadHafez Fixed in the new version. – egreg Nov 07 '18 at 12:39
  • after redefining \pagenumbering as you suggested and compile twice the problem of toc is solved – Ahmad Hafez Nov 07 '18 at 13:23
