Right to left language issues in Word for iPad

Does word for iPad support right to left languages?

whenever I try to type in arabic word writes from left to right, now in arabic letters have few form depending on where they are located and word gets them all wrong and just displays the singular form of letters.

The question is:

Is this a bug or should I try some special setting?

my region settings is set to usa but I don't think this would affect writing cause other apps like Pages work just fine
