Search for Text Entry in dash. After it opened, choose Arabic as your preferred language.

Nice detailed answer. Ask Ubuntu language is English, so at least provide translation when you are obliged to use a different language. btw OP asked in English so should your answer!

Old post and comment. But this is useful in both languages. Although I use Ubuntu in English, it helps to see instructions in both languages. The author is simply going out of his way to be more helpful.
