This is probably not what you are looking for right now, but it might be
interesting anyways: AFAIK the GNOME desktop enviroment has support the
arabic language, which means that text is displayed properly form right
to left, and there's some sort of advanced text input technique, and
according to http://www.gnome.org/start/2.8/notes/rni18.html, most of
GNOME's base is also translated.

I don't know about other desktop environments, e.g. KDE, but I guess
that making similar efforts are under way.

 Simon
