Re: BIDI Status in Debina Installer

[Anmar Oueja <anmar@canada.com>]

Hello Alastair:

Sorry to hear you wor sick. I feel guilty for sending you soo many 
emails. I hope you and the family are better now.

Please make sure you checkin the files that I sent you so I can start 
testing the daily builts. BTW, you have to have the languagechooser 
langlist file updated with the arabic option otherwise I can not 
activate the arabic language and not be able to continue the test.

Thanks again for you work. the entire arabic community appreciates your 
work.
