Are you planning to include other Arabic character language such as the Old Malay (Jawi)?
There are several people in Malaysia that are interested on having a Jawi-enabled Linux, but the problem is they are not really sure how to do it properly (the font, the encoding, the input method, etc.)
I hope you can put this issue in your thought list, so that they can learn how to experiment with the Arabic localization.

The aim of this project is to collect the efforts and contribute in RHL to solve the issues and problems wrt full arabic support in RHL (right-to-left, fotns, rendering ...etc).
An initial page for the project, with call for participation is located at:
This effort also includes proper translation, validate the already translation efforts and provide standard good translation as well as put the efforts to solve the technical issues wrt to Arabic.

You are most welcome to lead an effort if you would like. I am not familiar with the Jawi, and not sure what are the challanges. Is that Lang still being used in Maly?
