Salam Mr. Waddah ..
  Well you don't have to worry about the Arabic support and Arabization of 
Koffice .. The Arabeyes team (http://www.arabeyes.org )had been working in 
KDE 3 arabization for 6 months now, and Koffice is where we reached now .. 
koword is almost done.. and kspread is underway.. in general I guess that the 
KDE translation of the main parts ( including koffice ) will be done by the 
KDE 3 release ..

  If you are interested in joining the Arabeyes efforts to accelrate the 
translation we would me more than happy .. Please join the 'doc' list for 
Arabeyes to translation process :
http://www.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/

Take a look a the KDE translation project page for updates in the status :

Dear Mr Costin

I work at small Engineering Consulting firm in Yemen called GES.  We truly
 intend to transform our business to Linux.  However, there is one small
 problem, some of the paper work has to be done in Arabic. There are only
 plane text Arabic editors for Linux.  They cannot fulfill  our needs in a
 professional way. I think the Arabisation of KOffice will suffice, at least
 in the near future, since many people in the business and academic arena
 really need to write  in Arabic.  They can deal with English menus and
 documentation.

Best wishes

Waddah A Al-Ashwal
