Hi and welcome to the forum.

You can find some thread in the forum about settings default language if your site is multi-language (?) but I assume here is not the case.

How I see the thing :  you can develop your front-end in pure Arabic without altering the back-end naturally. I mean the back-end will stay as default in english and writing  the front-end (your templates) in all Arabic language is up to you.

To help you to get started with RTL front-end, take a look at this series of 2 articles at Mozilla :
