I did some simple work for the sake of testing.
I added the necessary lines to languagelist.l10n and languagelist files. (please find them attached)
I also did the main menue .po file titled (ar.po)
hope this helps
Please let me know the moment you want to test the installer, I can be the tester for the arabic.
The rest of the strings are on their way. I will send them to you as we finish them :)
Thanks again. I appreciate your work and effort very much. :)

Great.. I will get some strings done for ya tonight.... :)
BTW, there are lots of po files for a whole bunch of archtectures. Do you know which ones I should start with especially for you to test with ?
How do you want me to submit the localised files ?
The most useful ones to start with are main-menu, cdebconf and the
languagechooser.l10n.
Do you have Cvs access in Debian? if not, the easiest way to submit the files is just to send them to me.
Beannacht, Alastair McKinstry

Thanks Vincent:
I got some answers that lead me to conclude it is impossible to do Arabic on the NEW debian installer. The main problem is the darn bidi (bidirectional) which isn't supported by NEWT. I tested it uing NEWT-python binding and it did not work
Are there are work arounds or something ?
I am currently adding bidi support to newt (well, the newt frontend for debian-installer in particular).
Could you send some test translations to work on?

Hello:
I would like to start localizing the Debian Installer to Arabic. Could you please direct me to the right place to get the .po files to start localizing ?
How can I test my localization files ?
Does the Debian Installer support Arabic language (right to left) ?
Hello,
did you get any answer? if not, tell me and I'll tell you how to proceed.
Cordialement,
