I haven't got a chance to play with it directly, but there was a very
impressive lecture about Java multi-language support in JavaOne '99
(two weeks ago) where they showed typing of Hebrew, Arabic and Chinese
and text display of many more languages, all in the same window, also
with locale support swithing the labels and button positions when
switched the locale to Arabic.
So you might want to check your records again. Here is the entry
for the session I attended:

Hope this helps,
