Do you mean Arabic language support, using an Arabic keyboard?
You should try switching to Arabic language in Edit -> Preferences -> Interface then choose the language from the drop down menu.

or
Do you want to introduce the Arabic Numbers into 'Western' text.
Use a character map application, this example in linux but I know Windows has one.
Select the numbers, copy to clipboard, paste into Gimp text tool.

Which I suspect you have already done

Gimp's Text tool works with Unicode characters and as such supports about anything (even the new emoji stuff). The problems are usually external to Gimp: input method (but you can always copy/paste), or support for the characters in the font used.

Telling us what you already tried would have got us investigating a bit more. What do you mean by "Didn't work"? What font are you using?

Dear Ofnuts;
my system is :
1- windows 8.1 pro (64) , My default Windows language Layout English With Arabic Support ( Multi Language )
2- GIMP Version Installed is 2.10.4 With Default System Language as Interface Option.
The Issue Is :
1- Arabic Numerals Changing to English Numerals In Both Western Text Or Arabic Text.
Tried Methods . & Failed
1- Cut / Copy And Past From MS Word To Text Box ( Will Change Arabic Numerals to English After Past )
2- Writing Directly to Text Box Always Print English Numerals While Keyboard Layout Arabic
3- Changing Language Interface To Arabic In GIMP and tried the Arabic Numerals ( Still Produce Numerals in English Format )
Tried Method And Success
2- Using Character Map In Windows And Write The Required Numerals And Copy them To GIMP Text Box ( Work Perfectly)
Used Font Arial
Regards

Dear Ofnuts;
I tried the following :
1- Virtual Box With Fresh windows 8.1 Installation full Patched.
2- Installed GIMP
Still The Same , Arabic Numerals Can Be Writing In Text Box Using Only Copy And Past From Font Character in Windows.
Any Helpful Idea How I can Solve This Issue ...?

Wait a minute, you are using Gimp in a virtual box? What is the host system? Are you able to enter Arabic numerals in other applications in the irtualBox (such as Notepad or Wordpad)?
