    HttpRetriever agent = new HttpRetriever();
    String request = GOOGLE_GEOCODER + lat + ","
            + longi + "&sensor=true";
    // Log.d("GeoCoder", request);
    String response = agent.retrieve(request);
    String formattedAddress = "";
    if (response != null) {
        Log.d("GeoCoder", response);
        try {
            JSONObject parentObject = new JSONObject(response);
            JSONArray arrayOfAddressResults = parentObject
                    .getJSONArray("results");
            JSONObject addressItem = arrayOfAddressResults.getJSONObject(0);

You need to "Localize" the Map.

for example:

Locale.setDefault(new Locale("ja"));

will show Japanese.

It may or may not be possible to do it for Arabic. List doesn't mention it as a supported language.
