Consolidated patch for language updates

Ok, I couldn't resist getting the Arabic support (mostly) right. Malek helped me and by what he tells me, we've succeeded mostly. There are a few things left to do around wildly wrapping symbol characters, but that'll be worked out eventually.

So, this little patch updates dasBlog with French, Russian and Arabic, including full right-to-left reading support, which the engine injects appropriately into the <body> tag (dir="RTL") based on a hint in the Arabic resource table.

Cool. Is there hebrew support as well?

The right-to-left support is generic. We just need hebrew string tables.

The wild wrapping of symbols is do to the absense of explicit left to right taging of western text. Coming up is a version with LTR/RTL formating control so that one can set explicit taging (without doing HTML) while adding entries.

As for hebrew support, like Clemens said, I think code is generic (politically neutral), and would serve all other right to left languages, including Hebrew, but also Farsi, Urdu, and all the rest. So Roy, please do the hebrew String Tables (I would have if I knew any hebrew).
