 You need to set the locale correctly. Just using wxUILocale should work if
the system is using Arabic.

 Yes.

 It's supposed to be handled automatically, but there may be bugs because
this is not that well-tested. In fact, I'd be surprised if you don't run
into any bugs... But the only way to know for sure is to try it and wait
for your users bug reports!
