Multibyte support isn't tied to a particular language. I does two rather
unrelated things:
* handle multibyte character sets
* allow for character set conversion between client and server
If Arabic or Hebrew have single-byte character sets available then things
should just work. Otherwise you might have to teach the conversion code
about these character sets.
Getting left-to-right vs. right-to-left to work correctly might be a much
harder problem.
