Let me provide some context for this.

Org mode export to PDF should ideally work for any document language,
once it is specified:

#+title: چون عهده نمی‌شود کسی فردا را
#+LATEX_COMPILER: lualatex
#+LANGUAGE: fa

However, it is not entirely the case yet.

We do load correct punctuation rules, but the output pdf encoding and
fonts have to be configured manually, as discussed in
https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87h6z7jq4o.fsf@localhost/

Pedro is proposing a step towards full automatic language configuration
- selecting the correct pdf output encoding:

https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/CAO48Bk9Eo9zrgU7i7jMDcEAY120VZSHF70PdXOXKFCuKZGKGcg@mail.gmail.com/

The following should be enough to (1) load punctuation rules; (2) set
the correct pdf encoding.

#+title: چون عهده نمی‌شود کسی فردا را
#+LATEX_COMPILER: lualatex
#+LANGUAGE: fa
#+LaTeX_Header: \usepackage[AUTO]{polyglossia}
#+latex_header: \usepackage[AUTO]{fontspec}

(setting the correct font is still not done - it is tricky since we
don't easily know which fonts are installed locally)

Pedro, correct me if I misunderstood something.
