Install:
- a translation of the GUI into Arabic to get it in General->Language to get the interface in Arabic
- an Arabic dictionary to get it in the Style settings for text

Nothing to change for us.

I confirm that I already have the Arabic translation installed at
/usr/share/scribus/translations/scribus.ar.qm
I am using Arch Linux and the scribus-svn package at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/scribus-svn/
Did I miss something?

File -> Document Setup ... -> General -> Language: This is unrelated to the qm files you have installed. They are for the GUI.
You need to install hunspell dictionaries for Arabic to add this language to the setting you want.

I just used Scribus's Resource Manager to download Arabic Spell Checker files and checked an English text, and of course it errorred on some some english words, and suggested Arabic for some symbols etc. Seems working for me.

@cbradney: I am not saying there is any problem in the spell checker. I believe you misunderstood my issue. I am just saying as per title of my bug:
File -> Document Setup ... -> General -> Language: There is no Arabic entry
If this is still not clear, tell me and I may try to rephrase it in another way or attach a screenshot.

Ok, I have changed the way that list is filled. It was based on installed hyphenation dictionaries. Now it is based on the internal language list. This simply means that if your text is set to Arabic and you have no Arabic dictionaries installed, you cannot spell check them.

Excellent! now I see the Arabic entry. However, In Scribus Resource Manager -> Spelling Dictionaries Category, the entries are a bit weird:
Language Code Location
                        ar_AE /usr/share/hunspell/ar_AE (No language entry for all ar_XX)
Aari ar /usr/share/hunspell/ar (Wrong language code and conflict with Arabic)
Arabic ar /usr/share/hunspell/ar

Re-opening for small glitches

Also, when I change the Document Setup language to Arabic, I expect all newly created text box to have their language set to Arabic by default, which is not currently the case.

I added more Arabic language codes to the language list.

As for Doc Setup and your expectation.. thats not how Scribus works. That setting sets the default character style language. Edit there after the document has been created.

Resolving as the issue reported has been fixed.
