See Changing the reader font without a hack [K3/K4] for more information.

Both the PDF viewer and the Internet Browser are separate software modules that natively support Arabic. However, the Kindle framework doesn't. If you changed the fonts, you'd be able to read Arabic .mobi files, but the word order would be reversed.
IMHO, it would be more useful to install Duokan Lite (not Duokan 2012) or fbKindle, which will allow you to read Arabic ePubs.

Unfortunately, you cannot make the Kindle recognize transliterated Arabic, but you could create a dictionary with transliterated Arabic headwords. E.g. you'd open your dictionary and enter mifta7 on the keyboard to search for مفتاح.

Mobipocket Reader is the Windows ebook reader program that the Kindle software is based on.

1. Get a decent editor with regular expression support.
2. Massage the file so that you end up with a tab-delimited file with the headword as the first entry and the definition as the second entry.
3. Follow these instructions to generate the dictionary.
