Good link, a 5.

But I would like to add some explanations. JavaScript cannot access the local system, which is done for safety reason, so it cannot change input languages, and this is good. It this solution, it just handles input events and modifies the input characters.

Yes, exactly.

If you don't want arabic, you would have to rewrite it all to match your needs.
