If we are going to support both ARABI and ArabTeX for Arabic then we should

I noticed that:
1) in Bidi.cpp the computeTables method does not process the text inside
ERT-inset.
2) the language of the text of an ERT-inset is always "latex" and can not be
changed.
Therefore:
the RTL words inside an ERT-inset are not displayed correctly!

2) Mixing Farsi & Arabic with english "\textFR{phrase}" and "\textAR{phrase}"
