Hi , 
For Arabic, Yes it is true if you deleted all the diacritics ( َ  ُ  ِ  ْ  ٍ  ٌ  ً )
that will be fine in most cases , 
but in more details  the diacritics are affecting the meaning of any word (ie :
مُدَرِّسة means a female teacher ) if we alter other diacritics and make it : 
مَدرَسة , it will mean a school . 
but in general they are not widely used in our daily life as we can understand
the meaning of any word from its context .

the ancients Arabs were not using any type of diacritics and it been used only
to help the new learner of Arabic language . 

so if the output will be without any diacritics I think in most cases that
would be OK . 

I hope that helps ,
