Hi and welcome to the forum!

Have you installed Arabic fonts? This is done at operating system level.
If you mean translation, then you need to use an online translation service.
LibreOffice 25.2 on Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE 7 Gigi) and 25.2 portable on Windows 11.

Run it through an on-line translation service? It's not quite clear what you are asking.
LibreOffice 7.3.7. 2; Ubuntu 22.04

Yep they are right. If I don't need to use the language on a regular basis, like its one off, I just use google translate. I type it in english and it gets converted to arabic. Its a pretty neat tool. If on a regular basis its better to install language on your computer. If you want to write in a different language with cool arabic fonts you can use [http://www.fontsaddict.com] which is pretty cool also. Hope that answers your questions.
