\documentclass{ieeeaccess}
\usepackage{arabtex}
\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperref}

    what errors do you get? – David Carlisle Oct 03 '22 at 14:57
  • Please clarify your specific problem or provide additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. – Community Oct 03 '22 at 15:22
  • @DavidCarlisle I am getting many errors I am using Overleaf but the main error is Argument of \year has an extra}. – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:02
  • @UlrikeFischer this one https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/529900/conflict-ieee-access-template-with-arabic-language – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:06
  • I think you need to revert \arabic to the stadard definition (arabic numerals 1,2,3) not switching to arabic script – David Carlisle Oct 03 '22 at 16:10
  • @DavidCarlisle I am trying to add some words in Arabic into the English transcript ! – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:12
  • see also https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/299875/endabstract-conflicts-with-arabtext-package – David Carlisle Oct 03 '22 at 16:13
  • @DavidCarlisle I tried this command, but it is not working! \def\endabstract{\egroup} do I need to make changes as this command for Elsevier class and I am working with IEEEaccess class. – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:21
  • Your specifc problem here is \year which you need to protect (yes the elsevier ref was just a hint of the kind of thing to look out for) – David Carlisle Oct 03 '22 at 16:23
  • @DavidCarlisle I am not a latex expert can you give the instruction I really need help in these thanks in advance – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:27
  • @DavidCarlisle this fixed some of the errors, but I am getting new errors LaTeX Error: \begin{minipage} on input line 48 ended by \end{abstract}. – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 16:40
  • @egreg the page you mention solves the problem for package forest, but it doesn't solve it for the package arabtex however arabtex package is mentioned in the context I tried the same code, and I am getting an error. so my problem remains unsolved – Ayman Mahgoub Oct 03 '22 at 17:18
  • @AymanMahgoub You need to issue the two \let commands before loading arabtex. – egreg Oct 03 '22 at 17:54

The ieee class (possibly unwisely) redefines the primitive \year you can define it back and save the ieee definition as \ieeyear

\let\origyear\year
\documentclass{ieeeaccess}
\let\ieeyear\year
\let\year\origyear
\usepackage{arabtex}

\usepackage{cite}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts}


\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{hyperref}
