<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks to Marina Litvak, I was able to adapt ROUGE to Arabic
by changing regular expression to be [A-Z a-z 0-9<span lang=AR-JO dir=RTL

</span><span lang=AR-JO dir=RTL style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>أ-ي</span><span
dir=LTR></span><span lang=EN-US><span dir=LTR></span> represent first and last
letters in Arabic alphabet right to left.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
