On the Console (VT) ?

This is, because the FileSystem does not support Bidi.

But anyway, do you have tried

  __( '/home/michelle.konzack/.bashrc' )________________________________
 /
| export        LANG=ar_MA.UTF8
| export    LANGUAGE=ar_MA.UTF8
| export LC_MESSAGES=ar_MA.UTF8
 \______________________________________________________________________

  __( '/home/michelle.konzack/.bash_profile' )__________________________
 /
| echo "Load Console Font and Keyboardlayout..."
|   consolechars --font=LatArCyrHeb-16
|   loadkeys --quiet -s michelle-euro-ar
|   unicode_start
 \______________________________________________________________________

(you schould use your own keymap, because I use a special one)


Greetings
