In your ar_signup.php form mention <?php echo form_hidden('language', 'ar');?> just after the form_open().
Similarly in en_signup.php form mention <?php echo form_hidden('language', 'en');?> just after the form_open().

Since, as I guess, your both signup forms are redirecting to create_user() function in user controller, just add :

if($this->input->post("language")=="ar")
{
   $this->load->view('ar_thanks');
}
else
{
  $this->load->view('en_thanks');
}

wherever you want to load thanks page.

in your both forms, add hidden field as below.

form_hidden('lang', 'en/ar');

In controller, check lang

if($this->input->post("lang")=='ar')
{
  // redirect to arabic thanks page
}
else
{
   // redirect to english thanks page
}
