I see sqlserver2005 has no many languages which were announced.
For example I need arabic as the language for indexing and search. I dont
see it in the language list.No wordbreaker.
Any ideas?

I would try the Turkish word breaker.

You might also want to look at this:

1/Arabic%20Search%20Engine%20-%20Final.doc

I am not sure if you will be able to use this in SQL 2005.

Oleg,
Yes... While Arabic is not in the list of officially supported languages,
you can download the Microsoft Arabic Word-Breaker (Arabic Search Engine) -
Beta from: http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/arabicdev/beta/search/. While
I've not yet tested this with SQL Server 2005, it should work for you!

Thanks,
John
