   Hi everyone

   if you just have a look into the new locales that are added to the new
   SDK 1.6, you will notice that among these locales is Arabic

  http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-1.6.html

   but unfortunately, when I tried to run the emulator,I didn't find any
   locale supported Arabic.

   Could you please give more clarifications about this issue ??
