Finally, Google announced that there Blogger is officially supporting the three main languages in the Middle East, Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew:

Millions of people around the world already use Blogger to participate in the wider Internet community. Blogging is a powerful way for people to publish online, reach a large and varied audience, and communicate with others who share their interests. And today, Blogger is available in Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew. This brings the number of languages we offer to 40. We’ve been really excited about adding these languages and widening the world of bloggers.

We’re especially pleased that Blogger now supports composing text and displaying blogs right to left. This has long been an challenge for bloggers in Hebrew, Persian, and Arabic. We’ve added new features specifically for these users, and also made sure every page of the Blogger application displays right-to-left in these languages. This project has been very technically challenging, but among the most thrilling I’ve ever worked on. I hope that everyone enjoys using it as much as I’ve enjoyed developing it.

Good luck guys!
