Comment (by walid3):

 Thanks again Sergey, it seems it's harder for Arabic than Russian, it let
 the user sign up for username in Arabic successfully, but when you try to
 visit member page (buddypress) it say:

 '''We're sorry, but we can't find the page that you're looking for.
 Perhaps searching will help.'''

 Perhaps it doesn't recognize Arabic username in URL for some reason, and
 when I login by the user it show the name in strange letters and symbols:

 so the plugin did the job well, but it's wordpress that is not used to
 have Arabic usernames, so problems appear, have you met with such problems
 in Russian plugin?
