I've implemented this feature in r25400. You can download it from the current build link available from the homepage.

Currently diacritics are not supported well on the viewer. I hope that either me and/or Amr Medhat will implement it soon. Similar work is done in the 'View Arabic text (cont.) - About the diacritics patch' forum thread.

Please test and report your findings here. If there are any issues on the matter, please also report it in a new Flyspray bug item.

Regards,
Tomer

updated to the new build few minutes ago.
Here's the result: It did change the aligment from LTR to RTL yet the text direction is from the left. I mean that the dot or comma which supposed to be at the end of the line, at the left, are still at the left.

Is there a character map for non-Latin languages in the text editor?

Is this what you are looking for:

This seems like a more complicated problems, as Rockbox doesn't support that functionality yet.
Unfortunately, I am not plan to work on this issue in the near future.

Your comment implies that its not possible at all whilst all  the menus are aligned to the right & and the text direction is RTL too.

Actually, I implemented that feature 

Currently it merely aligns the string to the right. It doesn't parse the string at all. All menu items text are hard coded (in language file), therefore, wherever there was an issue with placement of special characters at the end of string, as is the case with exclamation-marks, it was manually moved to the beginning of the string as a workaround (If I recall correctly). See hebrew.lang.

The text viewer (not editor) should now (r25519) properly support RTL languages. By support I mean properly aligning the text to the right edge of the screen.

that the dot or comma which supposed to be at the end of the line, at the left, are still at the left.

This is not fixed yet. I am not going to work on this in the near future  . I hope someone else will.

... By support I mean properly aligning the text to the right edge of the screen.

Its actually better then before, and if i put aside the dot/comma issue, when there's a space char at the end of the line (originally on the display) it still puts the space before the line.

for example:

אחת שתיים שלוש___

(___ STANDS FOR THE SPACING CHAR)

thus making the paragraph not whole

אחת שתיים שלוש
אחת שתיים שמונה   
שלוש ארבע חמש

[tomers]

for example:

אחת שתיים שלוש___

(___ STANDS FOR THE SPACING CHAR)

thus making the paragraph not whole

אחת שתיים שלוש
אחת שתיים שמונה   
שלוש ארבע חמש

I'll further debug this issue, but still, I'm not sure I understand this example.
Can you please attach a simple file and screenshot showing the actual result (I will figure how it should look by opening the example file in a text editor on my computer)?

Thanks
