Hi Antonio,
If you haven’t found any documentation or examples specifically for Arabic, you might be interested in this Persian example from EIAH – it was demonstrated at OR 09 and handles a lot of the challenges you will face – right to left hand side (and bidirectional when English phrases are quoted etc), zero-width non-joiners, etc.. The slides/presentation notes are here: http://conferences.library.gatech.edu/or/or09/paper/viewPDFInterstitial/153/65 It doesn’t go into a great deal of detail – it was fascinating just to see that this is possible, though, so perhaps the people at EIAH can help to document this further or share some notes. I believe there are many similarities between Persian and Arabic character/input/date handling?
