Hussam,
Thank you for the effort to bring the Arabic up to date from its present
state.
As for those screen shots -- I assume this is Windows. I see the same on
my Windows when I set Arabic locale -- crazy things like reversing the
timeline and the wave, not just the text! As I just said, I do not hope to
find a fix for these in version 2.2.1.
But using a right-to-left locale on macOs gives more reasonable results.
Do you have access to Mac? Or is there another translator here who does,
and is interested in right-to-left languages, and can test this detailed
list of problems on Mac too?
