KOffice is a part of the KDE as you know .. and the KDE translation is 
underway .. until we reach the koffice to translate it's interface ( which 
may not be any time soon) please know that Koffice under KDE3 and QT3 
suuports Arabic input and so on .. so as of KDE 3 you can use Koffice with 
Arabic Language

Another alternative iis OpenOffice ( www.openoffice.org ) , which is an open 
source version of StarOffice ,  also supports Unicode, thus Arabic .. I did 
not use it yet .. I am currently downloading it ( around 70MB) ..when I am 
done with it and test it I will report the Arabic Language support state in 
it .. until then, if anyone tried OpenOffice with Arabic Langauge please 
report it's state of support ..
