------------------
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.
