Topic: Problem with any language other than English not working on the system

I have a version on GoDaddy hosting, and it has been working for over a year without any problems. Suddenly, the language changed from Arabic to English, and I discovered that when I tried to activate another language, no language works other than the basic English language. I contacted GoDaddy's support service, and they informed me that there is no problem with the hosting. I don't know where the problem is. Everything was fine, but the problem occurred without any clear reason.

@AhmedSelim is correct. GoDaddy removed all locales other than English.
In linux hosting locale -a lists only en_ languages . all others disappeared.
You need to contact GoDaddy and ask them to install ar_EG locale for you.

@rafat I contacted GoDaddy technical support. They are unable to add support for ar_EG, and all the employees are not qualified to understand the problem. In the end, they suggested that I purchase a dedicated server. Are there any other solutions within the accounting software to solve the language support issue?

I had this once, I asked my isp for a terminal access and entered required commands; I doubt GoDaddy will give you terminal access, but ask anyway.

I have to admit Godady is loosing it. Their support is deteriorated. By removing locals they are forcing people to buy dedicated server in order to increase revenue.  There is no way to install locales on a shared server even if you have access to a terminal( which I have thru ssh) because most of the commands are disabled.
