Unfortunately, Emacs does not yet support right-to-left languages.

FYI - help-gnu-emacs@gnu.org is perhaps a better mailing list for questions of
this sort.
I have no idea if this will help, but I just noticed it on Emacs Wiki:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/poor-mans-bidi.el.
I believe there is more information on the wiki about using Emacs for
bidirectional input (e.g. right-to-left), but they just changed the wiki search
engine and it seems to no longer work well - doesn't find anything additional
for "bidi" or "bidirectional" or "right-to-left". Wait a day or two, and perhaps
they'll restore the previous search engine, which worked pretty well.
