Not all Arabics are created equal...

[Michael Kaplan (Trigeminal Inc.)]

I have heard the same thing, and think it is underscores a point that MANY
companies forget: not all dialects of Arabic are the same, despite the fact
that most software packages have *one* Arabic version. 

Issues such as this one can obviously cause major issues since it even
affects logical vs. visual order of numbers!
