Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Replying to [comment:2 khaled]:
 > I think this because some boot messages are translated into Arabic, I
 don't think we really need that translation and we can safely remove them,
 if not, we'll need too enable Arabic in the console.

 Arabic is not going to happen on the console, unless you can tolerate
 left-to-right without shaping and substitution. The console can do UTF-8
 with your choice of up to 512 characters. The console does not do
 compositing, glyph substitution, double-width, shaping, or reordering. You
 must use Unicode normalization form C or KC.

 Boot should happen in the "C" locale anyway, for performance reasons.
