I though the same thing ;)

I have ZIM files in Arabic, Hebrew and Farsi and as far as I know they are
no specific issues related to these languages in Kiwix nor in the zimlib. Asaf, 
if 
you have such bugs, the best is to open a ticket in the appropriate bug tracker:
http://bugzilla.openzim.org/Main_Page or http://bugs.kiwix.org

About the stemming, Xapian (used by Kiwix) has no solution for these 
languages... this would
be a pretty good idea to have a grant for that (at least one language).

PS: Asaf, what about my Invitation to meet Reg from Moulinwiki in Tel-Aviv?
