Arabic Support on Android is Here

The subject of Arabic language on Android devices has been so debated, with more than 5000 requests on Google’s Android issue lists http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5597.

Today, while getting SICK (totally) of the (untruthful) promises of SFR to make Android 2.2 Froyo available for its devices, I decided to go ahead and install a custom ROM (CyanogenMod 6 ROM) here. And I’m really impressed how it is working smoothly –yeah multitouch work on HTC Magic :D-

Arabic seems to work pretty well on third party applications, but sadly on the browser the characters are printed but from left to right!

And what’s with Isreal being choose as a country for Arabic language? it is an official language there ok, but seriously?
