IE4 enabled for Arabic, Hebrew and Thai will handle this. You can download
from
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/iebuild/ie4sp1_win32/en/ie4sp1_win32.htm
and then select either the Arabic, Hebrew or Thai enabled version. For CJK,
you can download the language packs you need from the add-on page at
http://www.microsoft.com/ie/ie40/download/rtw/x86/en/download/addonnt.htm.

This will give you a browser with English UI that is capable of displaying
Ar/He/Th/ & CJK plus many more. It runs on any Win32 platform including US
Windows95.
