You'll have to test against your first thought. I don't know what happens if I use the regional settings in windows. Consider any other platforms might be in play (OSX for example).
And yes to your last question.

The content for the site will be updated by the administrators from UAE. So when they access the reddot CMS URL,i hope that the cursor direction will be from right to left. is it needed to set the right to left text direction in red dot CMS for arabic language sites?. Actually I am working from india. i dont have idea about Arabic language and how the windows will behave if the language locale is Arabic.
