known problems:
 - just when you choose a language during installation, it will not appear to you after installation neither that the Arabic language will be installed, and this is not a problem because you can easily install the language you want from system settings<language support< then install what you want :)

by the way: "Helal" word means "Crescent" in English, it is translated literati from Arabic to English.. 

thanks.
