$ python -m pickle data.txt # you need specific command to see origin look
{'ar': 'عربى', 'en': 'english', 'jp': '日本語', 'ko': '한국어'}

>>> data = [('ar', 'عربى'), ('en', 'english'), ('jp', '日本語'), ('ko', '한국어')]
>>> import json
>>> with open('data.txt', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
>>>     json.dump(data, f, ensure_ascii=False)
$ cat data.txt
[['ar', 'عربى'], ['en', 'english'], ['jp', '日本語'], ['ko', '한국어']]
# pretty close by using ensure_ascii=False option but inside tuples became lists
