9.5 Problems That Affect Complex-Text Locales

Problem  

Affects Arabic and Hebrew. 

Only partial support is available in the GNOME Desktop for right-to-left languages. Full support for right-to-left language printing and GUI widget mirroring is currently under development in the GNOME Desktop.  

Solution  

Arabic and Hebrew text input is supported in the GNOME 2.0 globalization release, with the exception of the Terminal application. If you have not installed any other language pack, and you want text input support, then install the following patches:
