Just a small correction - Hebrew only has five letters which are differently
shaped (at the end of words, only) so people inputting Hebrew just input those
characters directly, rather than relying on the underlying software to reshape
the input letters. For Arabic, it is almost required to shape, because there
are so many possibilities.
