A few points to consider:

    * The Hebrew in the screen shot is all mangled. Some of the text
      appears correctly, and some is not reversed, resulting in an image
      that is fairly far from readable.
    * The best place I know of to find Arabic speaking FOSS related
      activity is project Arabeyes - http://arabeyes.org/. Sadly, it
      appears that the project is fairly inactive for some time now.

Good luck
