Arabic Letters are disjointed and reversed in headers and margin

Arabic Letters are disjointed and reversed in headers and margin

[Ibn Saeed]

I have also made a post at tex.stackexchange.com

I am trying to get Arabic Chapter Name in the header and some arabic text in 
the margins using ConTeXt MarkIV

Here is the code:

\setupmargindata
  [margintext]
  [align=r2l]

use \setupalign[r2l] and \righttoleft and not the dir primitives

I did not understand how to use 

"use \setupalign[r2l] and \righttoleft and not the dir primitives"

Do you mean that i should remove these lines ?

\pagedir TRT
\bodydir TRT
\pardir TRT
\textdir TRT


How should i use \setupalign[r21] and \righttoleft

i have added your code above the starttext area and it did not make any 
change

By using right 

\setupmargindata
 [margintext]
 [align=r2l]

and 
\setupalign[r2l]

The margin arabic text appears correctly

But the arabic texts in the header is still the same.

Thank you very much. 

This solves the issue of the arabic text in header as well.

This makes all the text LTR, for instance if one has an English word
embedded in the RTL text, that will be shown incorrectly.  Or even if one
of the headers (say, on the left side) is plain English.

Why wouldn't something like the following work?

\startsetups setup:bidi

\setupdirections[bidi=on,method=default,fences=no]

\stopsetups

\setupheader[setups=setup:bidi]
