Fluent? Perhaps not.. passable.. sure...

Some Arabic-range text to test with...

Uyghur:

زیمیستان كۆرمیگەن بۇلبۇل
باھارنیڭ قەدرینی بیلمەس
جاپانی چەكمیگەن ئاشیق
ۋاپانیڭ قەدرینی بیلمەس

Farsi:

خيم اگر زه باده مستي خشباش
با ماه رخي اگر نشستي خشباش
چون عقبته كاره جهان نيستي است
عنگر كه نيستي چو هستي خشباش

cheers,
-Patrick
