Yes it's always read right to left, which can be confusing when you combine English and Arabic. When you reach the Arabic word or sentence you jump to its beginning which is the first Arabic letter to the right, read it from there to the left, and then continue to the next English word when you're done.
Also this is why unicode has codepoints signifying where to switch between right to left and left to right writing, so that letters can be correctly written "forwards" in the underlying file format (first letter written first) for both writing systems and also rendered correctly for both writing systems on display

I would love to see a breakdown of the line wrap algorithm for that… sounds nasty
Thanks!
