Yet JDK isn't localised into Arabic. Some Slavic languages have different plural forms which depend on the last digit in the number (except for 10-19).

It is probably the reason why Windows Explorer shows the size in KB. On the other hand, Properties dialog shows the size as "0 bytes" and "1 bytes".
