Arabic support - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I just picked up a Tmobile G2 for my mom, she gets a lot of emails in arabic and theyre not displaying correctly...
The phone is currently on 2.2.... I know how to root,etc, my G2 is rooted with CM7.0.3-i am an experienced user....
but I cannot seem to figure out how to get Arabic working... If i need to root her phone to flash a custom rom, can I get suggestions on what ROM will support arabic fonts?
Again, I do not want to read everything in arabic, I just want stuff that is in arabic font to display correctly (mainly emails and web stuff)

i think this could help you
search the market for
Mirsal
SlideIT Arabic Pack
Arabic LP for GK Arabic
SMS Reader
Dr.Ben0x Keyboard or

if not...is there a way to put the letters on the keys on such keyboard permanently that anyone knows?

It's sad because the fonts apparently supports it. At least they support chinese as some of my contact have chinese name and they appear properly in the text editor.
What's really missing is the IME or a virtual keyboard

Not that sad, geez, the phone is a month old...

It's sad when a product is restricted to iso-latin. Even if the product was not intended for outside of the US market a good chunk of the population in the US speak and use a second language on a daily basis. Whether it's Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian or something else.
I18N is a pain, and managing different IME is another bigger one so I understand why it was postponed to a future date.
so no chance for arabic support till now
heeeeeeellllllllpppppp
somebody should help us (Arabic language speakers) to fix this G1 phone Arabic support issue ,,, when I read the roadmap and did not find any plans to support Arabic, i felt disappointed...
I can't read any Arabic text msg's nor the g1 browser is supporting arabic websites ,,
please somebody should deal with this issue seriously
Cheers and thanks,

this is only a half solution for the problem ... haven't tested it yet

For Arabic support: http://www.2shared.com/file/4721532/c336ef8d/update.html
It's JF1.4 (RC30) with arial as the fallback font. You can read arabic msgs and websites but no writing yet.
Same goes for everyone else: If you need your native alphabet, just replace DroidSansFallback.ttf with whatever font that supports your language.
are the letters connected too?
looks like someone made it already.. but i hope that we will be able to get it free, as it is with everything "OPEN source"

NEW app!
I have created an Arabic Keyboard on the market, check it out.

Looking for T-Mo phone with Arabic support

I am looking for a T-Mobile phone(preferably Android) that has support for the Arabic language. My dad needs to be able to read it on the web browser and be able to type it(which I think I already know how to do, as there are add-ons in the market for arabic soft keyboard) but I don't know how to make the websites and what not readable, so if anyone knows, please post lol. Dad is buggin me about it.

Arabic support for HTC Wildfire or for android

Hello
I already know there are posts regarding the process I just have questions about the arabic support or rom.
I don't need my phone to get all arabic, no, I just would like it when I receive messages or tweets in arabic language I can see them rather then question marks plus the ability to write in arabic with an arabian keyboard.
my question is what does this process called, like some say arabic rom or something.
what does it called the thing I want? Arabic support?

Arabic support?

Hello,
I already have an HTC One X with the WWE rom and know that it supports arabic(correct reading in browser and SMS), i am however about to order a One S and need to be sure that it supports arabic aswell. Can anyone with an EU HTC One S please do me the of checking arabic support on the device?
Thank you,
Just a little test where you open a random arabic page in the browser and see if the text shows correctly. Then copy the text and paste in SMS application and see if it is correct there aswell. It would be really appreciated!!
