I don't know much detail, here, but I do know that
Arabic is a right-to-left language so the speech is only one
thing that will need adjustment. Does Windows have a boot
manager or something like BootCamp that lets you decide which OS
to boot into?
You might set up half the drive for the Arabic version
of Windows which would make the keyboard just like what you need
in an Arabic-speaking land and then install the Arabic JAWS
there if possible.
The other half of the drive would be the standard
Windows and American JAWS.
I really know very little about Windows so there might
be some sort of master configuration file that sets language,
keyboard and maybe even messages so if one could swap the
American setup out with the Arabic setup, then you could use one
version of Windows for both modes of operation.
What I wonder is whether Windows has something like the
Unix concept of a locale. It's a library of rules that govern
time and date display, your keyboard and other conventions for
displaying or entering data.
Just some thoughts and good luck.
