CentOS - Nov 2009 - How well does CentOS 5.4 support Arabic language and I can writing Arabic script from a standard keyboard?

Hello,

I have just had a request from a user who wants to have Arabic Language 
Support and to be able write Arabic script from a US English.  Is this 
fully supported in CentOS?

The user is convinced that he needs a newer version on gnome based on 
this post
http://library.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/2.28/#rndevelopers.epiphany

But I am going to try installing a system with Arabic Language Support 
and see how it goes.  Would anyone using Arabic recommend using SCIM?

Thanks for any advice you can offer

Hi,

Out of curiousness, I checked this out. Found the following pages:


http://djihed.com/arabisation/arabic-gnome-216-completed
http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/ar

Since Gnome 2.16 is in RHEL/CentOS 5.x, I suppose you should be fine!


Regards,

Rubin.
