Skolelinux is Debian-Edu which is a subset of Debian.  If Debian and
KDE in Debian supports arabic, so do Skolelinux.  The
skolelinux-specific parts are 36 terms during the installation, and
documentation (manuals).

At the moment the stable version of Debian Edu is based on
Debian/Woody, and we are working on a Sarge based future version.  If
it is little work to get the Woody based version to support Arabic, we
can do that, but I suspect it is better to spend the time on the Sarge
version, as there seem to be lots of missing pieces in Woody.

Some information is available from

Announce your intention on debian-edu at lists dot debian dot org, and someone
should assist you in the translation work.
