Actually, this there is no issue for Persian users because they can use xepersian which provides Persian equivalent of TeX primitives and also Persian equivalents of many LaTeX commands and environments (This is heaps more than what ConTeXt has done, you even can perform your macro programming in Persian if you use xepersian since it also gives the Persian equivalents of TeX primitives, for example if you use xepersian, instead \hbox you can use \کادرا). The attached document is exactly the same document with the difference that I have used xepersian and so Persian commands and environments instead English ones.
فارسی را پاس بداریم
meaning: let's honour Persian.
