[Bf-committers] Arabic language support in the UI

[Dalai Felinto]

I'm impressed. Could you briefly explain what is going under the hood?
And what is the problem with the python version (I thought python could
handle encoding with no problems)?

I wonder if the better solution would be to have this running internally in
Blender leaving the .po "non-reversed"/normal.

Note: I was going to comment that there are also "missing characters" in the
screen with your new font. But it seems to be the non-arabic characters,
(e.g. - ). Once merged with the Droid we are using it should work fine.
