I can read the headlines now:
"Two great cultures that have been at odds with each other for thousands of years, joined by the Amazon Kindle."

Seriously here, no offense intended to anyone.
Just smile at the thought.

Diacritical symbols (long tap) remained cyrillic.

Seems, locale code for persian language - it's fa_IR (farsi-Iran).

Thanks for the notice and the advice , and between brackets , we are typing with short tap not long tap since all the Arabic characters are there in the keyboard .

Then unnecessary diacritical symbols of cyrillics can be removed.
What for superfluous symbols on keyboard?..

We will do our best to remove them soon...
Since you are the developer of the Ru keyboard why dont you help us building "Arabic keyboard update.bin" for example? , because I couldnt make one .
Thanks in advance.
