You might try contacting Adriana Karin Vernon at the Kelar Corporation
5456 McConnell Ave.  Los Angeles, CA 90066 (213)827-1200.

Kelar is US distributor for an Israeli company that makes word processors,
for Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, Urdu and who knows what else. These programs
run on the IBM-PC and I understand can be customised to run other character
sets. 

One of the features they are particulary proud of is the ability to mix
English with these languages. As the cursor must go in opposite directions
when writing Hebrew and English this is no mean feat.

They also support daisy wheel printers for these languages so you can get high
quality output.	Some models have two print wheels to support the intermixed
English and foreign language. I have never seen one running, but I am told
it is quite a sight!
