Be warned, people that need native language for these subjects won't be able to read the more difficult technical documentation either, so you might be better off teaching english to those people that want to get more experience in programming in general and OS development in particular.
Shouldn't we be solving this problem, rather than trying to mask over it with "learn English." Not that I'm adverse to people of other nationalities learning English, and I welcome those who want to, but this is discouraging a massive proportion of people from OSDevving, and indeed, doing a lot of other technical things. Now, granted, we are getting better at automatic translation tools, however we're not to the point yet where we can just point Google Translate at everything, and be done with it. Some human intervention is required. Just my $0.02.

From what I can gather, the OP isn't asking how to translate into Persian (which I assume he can already do), he's asking how to set the Wiki to Persian.
And now, to answer the OPs question; there isn't currently any language options directly in the Wiki, as there are in, say, Wikipedia (from what I can gather, anyway). So, you won't be able to get to, say, de.wiki.osdev.org/XYZ. But, what you can do, is wiki.osdev.org/de:XYZ, and link to it from the original article. If you're willing to spend more time on it than the 30 seconds I used to experiment, you can create a language 'box' to go possibly in the upper right hand corner of a page, listing, and linking to, all of its translations.
In terms of the RTL, there's no reason why it won't work, and indeed from my quick experiment, it does indeed work fine. Just type away, and it will work.
If you want my experiment as an example,
