------------------
I think you will be limited to Arabic web browsing using the English version of
NT Workstation.  There is an "Arabic Enabled" version of NT workstation.
some tips from "http://www.sheikhmohammed.ae/arabic/privacy/noarabic.asp"

MS English Windows 95, 98 or Windows NT (may work on Pan European versions as
well):
MSIE 5.0 works very well for viewing but you won't be able to edit, enter Arabic
search terms or fill forms in Arabic on the English platform. In most cases
(unless you change system fonts to Arabic), page titles will show as ?????).
Remember to run custom/limited setup and check the Arabic language support when
you install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 (be ready for over 10 MB download).
Also, don't put IE5 on Arabic windows 98.
Other solutions: Sakhr's Sindbad for Netscape 3 or 4, Accent's Multilingual
Mosaic, Alis Tango (latest versions)
Please see links to these vendors above and make sure you read their system
requirements.
