--- Comment #23 from Nikolay Sivov <bunglehead at gmail.com> ---
I'm planning on getting this in right after wine 6.0. So please test some more,
for example one missing bit is diacritic marks reordering, that I think happens
when you have more than one mark stacked, and order in which these are typed in
should not affect visual order, or something along these lines. I realize it'd
be easier to test if typing actually worked.

Regarding input handling, as I recall you had to install/enable language
support for Arabic in Word explicitly, it has some UI with a list of languages
it supports. After that Word detects input language using current keyboard
layout, which for Wine means that switching layout while Word is running is not
detected by the application. It should probably work if you switch to Arabic
layout before running Word. I don't remember now how current locale affects
this, it's been awhile since I tried.
