Hi

Various ways to do it; the easiest is to select languague option in the system setup and then select arabic; if asked for a cd provide the same.
Cheers

Do some thing similar to this to check if you the Arbic supported. below example is for checkign Russian.
#locale -a|grep -i ru
ru_RU
ru_RU.iso88595
ru_RU.koi8r
ru_RU.utf8
russian
ru_UA
ru_UA.koi8u
ru_UA.utf8
tt_RU.utf8

Set the required Language variables; try with only LANG;
# LANG=ru_RU.utf8; export LANG

try all the below variables further if required.
# LC_ALL=ru_RU.utf8; export LC_ALL
# LC_COLLATE=ru_RU.utf8; export LC_COLLATE
