--- Comment #3 from Ken Thomases <ken at codeweavers.com> ---
The issue is that the Mac C libraries only have a fairly narrow selection of
installed locales.  In particular, it doesn't support Arabic locales.  I don't
know if it's possible to install third-party ones.

There's much wider support for locales in the higher-level libraries and
frameworks, which is what most Mac software uses.

Because Wine uses the C library's locale functionality to query the locale,
it's not understanding ar_SA.UTF-8 and falling back on the C locale (albeit
with UTF-8 character encoding).  Wine doesn't rely much on the C library's
locale functionality other than detecting the system locale settings, though. 
So, if you configure it with the desired locale in other ways, things should
work.

In particular, there's drive_c/windows/win.ini in the prefix and the registry
settings under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International].  Try
configuring those for Saudi Arabia/Arabic.
