I think that what you want is a preprocessor that takes the Arabic code
page and Arabic keywords and translates them into whatever your compiler
supports. IBM Egypt had (or used to have) preprocessors for PL/I and
COBOL. Some Arab University may well have written one for C.


Also, an Arab university may have written a parser, so that you can not
only use Arabic keywords but also an Arabic syntax. I haven't heard of
this for Arabic, but I've seen examples of French syntax parsers (I just
don't remember any details).


I suggest you use "finger" to locate someone at an Arab university
computer science department.
