You have to use unicode language for that.
http://www.utf8-zeichentabelle.de/
But you have to find any for arabic symbols.

You have to create new font files as the ones found in redist/fonts you can use a tool like http://www.angelcode.com/products/bmfont/ then specifiy in the .lang file you make that is should use these new fonts. It's not the easiest translation to make and I don't really know in detail how to do it as I never done it.

can you explain that a little further? I am trying to do another translation for justine this time and although I can see the characters they don't look very good because of the font. At the pre-menu they are not appearing at all. Can you help me with this?
This is in-game where there are no problems:
