All, I finally got arabic working in both locales and uilocales :) I'm sending this mail to let you know the solution and also because I think there should be some easier way to do it :)
The cause of the problems I had is the BOM hidden characters added in the begining of the text file when I save it as utf8 in notepad. I also tried another text editor with the same result. SWORD doesn't seem to handle these charachters correctly. I just have open the file in some editor that displays them and delete them manually to get it to work. Now it's just a matter of writing some Arabic string. I will send again as soon as I have something completed. I just wanted to know when is the next realease of SWORD for Windows expected? I want to try to finish this translation - or at least a big part of it - before the coming release so that it can be added to the release package.
