My experience is that it's OK to use English Windows when compiling a localized CHM. I have not done Arabic, but I have done Hebrew (also an RTL language), Russian, Greek, and Asian languages. The critical aspect is to set the Windows system locale to the target language. The system locale is an internal code page that Windows uses for non-Unicode applications. It is different from the user locale, which controls the date formats and so forth. To set the system locale on Windows 7, open Control Panel > Clock, Language, and Region > Region and Language > Administrative > Language for Non-Unicode Programs. After you set the system locale, Windows prompts you to restart the computer. For more information, see: http://wiki.webworks.com/DavidShaked/LocalizingWWePProjects Most of the article is about WebWorks ePublisher, but I think the information about the system locale is relevant to all tools.
