As an Arabic speaker I play in the English version of the game, and I had no problem with it except for the chat box, when I communicate with other Arabic players I need to speak English, which is very inconvenient for us.
So please I'm not asking for a whole Arabic version of FFXIV, just allow other languages in the chat box for players to communicate with each other.
I think it has a lot to do with the limited capabilities of the chat box. For example, you cannot even correctly spell common Spanish words like "senor" with the tilde N.
I found this when trying to communicate in Cantonese (traditional Chinese) as well, some characters will not show correctly at all. Definitely it would be nice if they extended their dictionary to cover a wider variety of languages, doesn't need to be everything though but at least the ones which will benefit the playerbase (Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Arabic etc).
