In theory you should be able to set the System Locale in the regional settings to Arabic and then type in English or Arabic in the VBA editor..

Region and Language Settings > Administrative Language Settings > Administrative Tab > Change System Locale (Do not check the Beta checkbox as that doesn't work in any version I have used). You will then have to reboot Windows.

I am not familiar with Arabic which is a right to left language, but I have used this before for Greek and Russian, which are left to right. It won't change your system interface so you can try it for yourself.

You may need to set the VBA editor to use the Courier Arabic font to give you the extended character set required.
