I made an rml report in openERP version 6.0 with Arabic text, and I faced a little problem. When I generate rml from SXW, Arabic text was correct, but when I generate the PDF, the Arabic text is backward.
Contents changed when generating Arabic report pdf

this problems comes out because python doesn't have builtin unicode bidirection algorithm. arabic text, like any other bidirectional language (Hebrew, Farsi, etc) must be reformatted through bidi-algorithm before exporting it into portable text rendering systems, like PDFs, Video Player subtitle rendering engines, 3D Design software....
There is a hook for openerp to fix this problem: http://github.com/barsi/openerp-rtl
it's built using thoughts from this thread: pyfribidi for windows or any other bidi algorithm
Better you create a report in English and leave the translation job to the OpenERP translation engine.
