 Build 656,

 Arabic keyboard/language test, from this test plan:
 http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Test_Keyboard_mappings

  * The keyboard switch key causes the arabic characters to show up when
 using the terminal activity. They do not show up in a linux virtual
 terminal. I verified that the English map correctly to the US side of the
 keyboard; and that the other characters that print look somewhat like the
 ones on the keyboard layout.

  * Everything types (in the terminal activity) from left to right. I don't
 know how to use the characters to see if they are correct or if modifiers
 work, etc.

 I used the sugar-control-panel to change the language to arabic and here
 are the things that have not be translated:

  * Home view: "Connected to a Simple Mesh"
  * Browse is the only activity icon that IS translated. All others are
 English.

  * Browse: 'Activity' tab is in English; other tabs are translated; "Share
 with" and "Private"/"Neighborhood", "Keep" is in English. Stop has been
 translated. "Full screen", "Zoom In", "Zoom Out".

  * Chat: Nothing has been translated -- not even 'Stop' in sugar.

  * Write: Most tabs are translated, except for 'Activity', and 'Format'.
 'Private', 'neighborhood', 'share with', 'keep', and 'stop' are all
 english.
  * The wrong default font is chosen so I don't get arabic characters.
  * The typing starts about 2 inches from the left and characters are
 inserted such that the older ones move to the right. That might be good,
 but the default margins are bad as the first 2" on the left are not used.
  * 'Underline', 'Italic', 'bold' are English, as are all the font names.
 'Undo', 'Redo', 'copy', 'paste', 'Insert image', 'Insert Row', 'Delete
 Row', etc. are all English; Format tab is all English. 'Zoom in' and 'Zoom
 out' are english.

  * Record: Everything is in English.

  * Paint: 'Activity' tab is English. There are many translated items,
 including all the other tabs. Underneath the next level of menus there is
 a smattering of English mixed in.

  * Journal: 'Anytime' is English and contains 'Past Week', 'Past Month',
 'Past Year'. There are 'Minutes' and 'Right now' listed on the right in
 the list view. The 'Anything' header is translated, but most of the pull
 down list is in English.
  * 'Erase', 'copy to clipboard' and 'go back' are all english.
