Maybe because Apple doesn't really hold any marketshare in those countries. Although i heard there's a Arabic Translation of Leopard or Tiger Free For those in those countries.

I guess the sales volume perspective isn't high enough to justify a complete translation of OS X, since people who would potentially buy/use Apple stuff probably speaks english already.

Don't know why Apple doesn't support Arabic but they should. Have anyone been to Dubai? I think iPhones are a good match for that city.

Most of the Arabic language countries are multi-lingual, with most professionals understand English.

In addition it's harder to add non-standard keyboards.

as i see here it's too high ;)


From what I understand, support for standard Arabic is not as straightforward as it seems, but here's something that was posted just a week or so ago.
