Re: [docbook-apps] Announce: DocBook XSL 1.61.2

["Salah Faya" <visualmind@hotmail.com>]

Thank you for adding the Arabic locale.
Attached with this email the Arabic translation of the document you included
in your email (using iso-8859-6). I couldn't test yet but I will as soon as
I've a chance to.
I would like to remind you about that the Arabic language is read from
right-to-left.
Thank you again.

Regards,
Salah Faya
