Some languages are written in a form known as right-to-left (RTL) like Arabic, Hebrew, etc.. .
I have added default_rtl directory which contains the default skin but in RTL direction
also there are some changes on config and settings files:
1st: find default_rtl.zip in attachment, unzip and put it in /skins directory
2nd: apply this patch on /config/main.inc.php

closedir($dir); One thing that I couldn't covert it to RTL. it is vertical splitter in both mail page and addressbook page so I have committed it out in RTL interface.
After performing all steps in the above, go to preferences and select Arabic language then click save.
That's it
