Thats true. There should not be second opinion.

For me, ok_locales not working at all even if textcat plugin is enabled .
But with ok_languages, following rule gets applied from plugin textcat.(for
arabic language also)
1.5 BODY_8BITS BODY: Body includes 8 consecutive 8-bit
characters
The other rule (UNWANTED_LANGUAGE_BODY) applies sometimes only.
But this plugin is definitely a good one for language based mail filtering.
