------------------
According to my contacts at Apple, right-to-left language support is
still being worked on in OS X. Arabic and Hebrew are the two big
concerns right at the moment but they are also working on the Indian
languages. Though they would not comment on when these languages
might be available, I would suspect sometime this year (late
summer/early fall perhaps???) that Apple will include them as an
update in the operating system. Dan.
