You can embed bidi regions using unicode format control codepoints:
Left-to-right embedding (U+202A)
Right-to-left embedding (U+202B)
Pop directional formatting (U+202C)
So in java, to embed a RTL language like Arabic in an LTR language like English, you would do
myEnglishString + "\u202B" + myArabicString + "\u202C" + moreEnglish
and to do the reverse
myArabicString + "\u202A" + myEnglishString + "\u202C" + moreArabic
