Can't help that much: can't read arabic !
There was a ROM specifly built to use arabic: http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=234471, but seems development is stopped. Still do not know, homepgae is in arabic with some little things in english.
Maybe also some other ROMs still in development in here would give you arabic language, but you'll have to search and sneak by yourself to find the one.
If by chance you find one which give you all you need, maybe a simple post in here would help some other people looking for the same thing.

[Q] I need some help with my rooted EVO...

Hello, a guy from the sprint store helped me rooting my EVO and now he's on vacation.. so , im not able to contact him to do the froyo upgrade on my phone.
I have HBOOT -0.76.2000
2,1-uodate1
1.36.00.04.02
2.6.29-789bf291
biod number : FrEak E Evo v3
Software : 1.47.651.1
Webkit 3.1
PRI Version 1.34_003
my question is : wich rom did you guys recommend me to install because im trying to look for more information on this one but i FAIL.
second : how to install the one that you recommend me ? with Froyo of course..
third : consecuences? advices?
THANK YOU !!
I would just say read...but I did just type up a How-to for my buddy yesterday so copy/paste isn't out of the question. Ignore any personal specific things that are included. This is provided you have FULLY ROOTED your phone. I'm not liable for jacking anything up etc, etc.
Ok, here’s the quick and dirty.
Files you need: download on your phone
Radios:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/yqau3epazcyqdu3/EVO_Radio_2.15.00.07.28.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/file/72eqb78zi71abk8/EVO_WiMAX_26023_R01.zip
ROM: Only choose one
Rooted version of Stock OTA: http://massmirror.com/7f191510efa40b999eec50b09e9dd116.html
*or*
The ROM I’m running now: http://deck.alexauv.com/s3vo_1_2-D_080310_005245.zip
[Edit: I have since updated to Fresh 3.1.0.1]
Download quickboot from the marketplace
Procedure:
1. Move the radios and the ROM you chose to the root of your SD card using whatever file explorer you use. I’m pretty sure you have ES File Explorer on the ROM you have now.
2. Open up People from your app drawer and navigate to Menu>Import/Export>Export to SD Card. This puts a .vcf file on your SD Card. Import after the flash to get your contacts back.
3. You should be good with titanium backup by now. Just remember after you flash, start Titanium, click the problems button, and download the new version of busybox. To do your back up, tap Backup/Restore>Menu>Batch>Restore Missing apps + Data
4. Open up the quickboot program you downloaded from the market and tap “Recovery”. Let the phone reboot to the console.
5. Go to Backup/Restore and press Power to select.
a. Select Nand Backup by highlighting and pressing power
b. Press Power again to confirm
c. If you have issues with 2.2 you can always come back here and restore your current ROM by using your Nand
6. Go back to the previous menu by pressing both up/down on the volume toggle. This can be tricky at times.
7. Highlight Wipe, press power to select
a. Highlight and press power to select, then power again to confirm on the following:
i. Wipe Data/Factory reset
ii. Wipe Cache
iii. Wipe Dalvik – cache
b. Return back to the main menu by holding in both volume keys
8. Navigate to Flash zip from sdcard
9. Highlight and press power to select the Radio-2.15.00.07.28.zip
a. Press power to confirm
b. If it doesn’t take you back to the main menu, return to the main menu and select “Reboot System Now”
i. This reboots the phone and updates the radio.
ii. If it brings you to a black screen with a phone and arrows making a circle, don’t worry this is normal
iii. Once it’s finished, it should reboot back to recovery
10. Return back to flash zip from sdcard
a. Highlight and select the Wimax update26023
i. Follow the same process for the radio
ii. Phone will boot back to recovery
11. Return to flash zip from sdcard
a. Highlight and select the ROM you chose to download
i. Press power to confirm
ii. Sit back and enjoy the script
b. If it does not take you to the main menu when it is finished. Return to the main menu and reboot your phone.
12. Congratulations…you are now running a rooted version of the 2.2 update.
Unless stated otherwise, if you’re on XDA and you see a ROM you want to try out, follow these same steps except the updating radios. You can make Nand backups of each ROM so you can switch between them and see which ones you like better.
That was FAST!! my first post and i'm really impress! TKS!
1. Flash one of the three CYANOGEN RC1, CYANOGEN NIGHTLYS, OR AVALUNCHMOD all are FROYO...IF YOU WANT ONLY FROYO NO SENSE GO WITH CYANOGEN RC1 OR NIGHTLY...BTW CYANOGEN MOD ARE VERY STABLE.
2. BOOT INTO RECOVERY VIA ROM MANAGER (IN THE APP STORE) OR MANUAL 1. POWER OFF THE PHONE. 2. HOLD DOWN THE VOLUME DOWN AT THE SAME TX POWER ON THE PHONE THE WILL PUT YOU IN RECOVERY. 3. STROLL DOWN AND CLICK ON RECOVERY WITH THE POWER BUTTON. 4. DO A NANDROID BACK FIRST THEN FLASH WHATEVER ROM ZIP YOU DOWNLOADED. 5. WHEN IT FINISH INSTALL THE ROM REBOOT THE PHONE. AND YOURE DONE! (TOASTS METHOD)
3. REMEMBER TO DO A NANDROID BACKUP JUST IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG...

We try to take care of people here. Never be afraid to ask questions, but it never hurts to research what you're trying to do either. Most of the devs will give you exactly what you need to flash their roms in the post and as far as the process to flash goes, those threads aren't too far either.
Read, learn, live, mod...gotta love it

I think so brick my galaxy nexus

hi everyone; my galaxy nexus is rooted and i'm trying to learn clockworkmod and i have e been format system, cache and data.. and my phone is not boot the anroid i press the power button screen is GOOGLE and padlock logo but no boot What should I do
is this a joke or what?
u formatted everything (included system where the OS is installed)...what do u expect to boot now? u deleted everything in ur phone
flash a rom
Oh boy... Here we go again... Sorry to be an ass but read people READ before go messing with your multi hundreds dollar/euro phone! And don't use the B word.
Flash a ROM and be sure to read what you should do, in what order, what the risks are and how NOT to do it. There is a huge information source right on these forums but try to give it some effort yourself.
/* end rant */
Now go to the devellopment section, read all stickies and if you then don't succeed: ask again.

how can i flas a rom i dont know please help
why would you think formatting system is a good idea? would you format your C: drive on your computer like that?
the good news is your phone is not bricked, you need to learn to use fastboot and reinstall android.

Welcome to XDA, next time a search would have gotten you the information you were looking for.
The good news is, you're not bricked. Boot into recovery manually, mount USB and attach your phone to your computer. From there you can drop a rom into your phones storage and flash.
Take some time and read through some of the threads. Starting with the pinned ones at the top of the page.
FLASHING a rom 101:
Switch off phone
Boot to RECOVERY mode by pressing the Volunme buttons and POWER button simultaneously .
Scroll the Volume button down till you see “RECOVERY MODE ” . Then press POWER button to select.
The phone will boot into Recovery mode and you will see the RECOVERY menu.
Using the vol buttons , scroll up or down to and perform the following actions :
Press POWER button to activate your choice
- Clear cache partition
- At Advanced – select it and choose Clear Dalvik Cache
- Select ” wipe data/factory reset” ( Read the NOTES below on this step )
- GO Back and select ” Install zip from SD card” – than select ” Choose zip from SDcard” . You will see a list of all your files in the SDcard – use the volume button to scroll up or down and select the rom zip file . Press POWER button to select it
Your phone will start to flash the new rom
Wait for process to finish and phone will reboot successfully into the new rom. This process will take 2-3 minutes to complete
NOTES : Most rom developers will advise you to wipe phone , ie clear data/factory reset when flashing their upgraded roms or new roms. The main reason is to avoid bugs or unnecessary force closures and all such reports with phone wipe clean will enable the rom developers a more accurate assessment of your issues. However this step is really unnecessary if you are flashing among roms of same build ( eg 4.0.3). It is advisable to wipe clean if you are moving from say 4.01 or 4.0.2 to 4.0.3. Anyway if you did not wipe phone clean and you faced continual rebooting , than last option is switch off phone. Boot back to recovery mode, select clear data/factory reset and reboot system
You use the same method if you just need to flash KERNEL only. Just copy the kernel zip file into phone and follow same procedures. NO need to clear data/factory reset if you are flashing kernel only...
thank u everyone i solve the problem using galaxy nexus root toolkit v1.3 i press flash stock + unlock and my phone is workin sorry guys but thank u

Read before messing with your phone please.
It is a little late but with search you will find this thread easily.
you can just flash a recovery with fastboot no problem at all.
then boot to recovery and flash what ever u want.
Yo. Don't go formatting stuff unless Instructed to.
And also have a rom ready if you do this. If you would like a place where all the roms are I'll send you a link.
Are you a CDMA sprint or Verizon???
Or a GSM???
