Hey there, I'm back with an update! Arabic is not currently a supported language in the Add Text feature (sorry for not catching that before asking a bunch of extra questions!)
The team is looking to increase the language support for Add Text and I made sure they knew we have an interest here for Arabic, but no current updates on when the supported languages might change. Sorry I don't have an immediate fix for this!

I checked in with the team for the currently supported language list, for you and other folks landing on this thread later.

We are only supporting the following languages currently –

English, Spanish, Dutch, French, Italian, Afrikaans, Albanian, Basque, Bosnian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Galician, Hungarian, Icelandic, German, Indonesian, Irish, Lithuanian, Luxembourgish, Malay, Norwegian, Portuguese, Romanian, Scottish Gaelic, Slovak, Slovenian, Swedish, Turkish, Vietnamese and Welsh.

Is it possible to add Korean onto the list of supported languages?

Yes, it looks like MS have no interest at all to resolve this issue, unfortunately.

This issue still persists in 2023. I still can't write in Arabic using the MS edge pdf editor.
I tried changing the font family and made sure that my browser is up to date.
