By flipped, I assume you mean the words are coming out left to right?

I don't believe Silverlight 2 Beta 2 has support for RTL languages. I haven't seen any announcement about when that will be available.

No support for Arabic out of the box unless you have a limited amount of static text. Arabic and Hebrew with RTL and Script requirements will be in a future version of Silverlight.
