Hi, now it's confirmed and ready for distribution:
Next week we are going to focus on testing VisualEditor in conjunction with non-Latin scripts: العربية, Ελληνικά, 한국어, हिन्दी, עברית , 日本 語, Русский, 中文 and more.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Testing_Non-Latin_Characters_Inp...
The testing will be done at the English Wikipedia (primarily in User pages), where VisualEditor can be enabled. Any editor can contribute, regardless of testing / technical experience and even knowledge of languages in those scripts. For instance, copying texts from http://ru.wikipedia.org/ or http://ja.wikipedia.org/ and playing with them in your User page is also a good starting point.
Of course we welcome the participation of editors from projects based on non-Latin scripts. Your help as ambassadors connecting with your communities is especially needed! A main incentive is that good testing coverage of VisualEditor in a specific script plus good community involvement might lead to its inclusion in the related Wikipedia(s) for broader testing.
If you have any questions or feedback please comment at Talk:VisualEditor/Testing Non-Latin Characters Input and Behavior or send me an email. Thank you!
Excellent. Thanks for the help. Looking forward to doing this, Quim.

Hi!
I request Japanese Wikipedeans to test this new great function at jawiki's noticebord([[:ja:Wikipedia:お知らせ#新機能「VisualEditor」の試験協力のお願い]]. https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:%E3%81%8A%E7%9F%A5%E3%82%89%E3%81%9B...
I wrote there "You may write your feedback in Japanese" to get more effective feedbacks. So, feel free to request me (or others) to translate them into English.
thanks,

I just reported the first bug for VisualEditor handling non-Latin text: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44442
I am certain that there are others to be found! -Chris
