Summary: LANGUAGE=ar xchat bug

Initial Comment:
If the LANGUAGE variable is set to ar (Arabic), the direction
of the English text typed would be left to right (LTR) which
would cause readability issues and display problems e.g.
typing:

/help will aappear as help/
hi ;) will appear as (; hi
/join # will appear as # join/
