Since Arabic is my native language, I’d be happy to help by checking
how the interface and document layout behave in (RTL) mode and
reporting any issues I find.
That would be very helpful indeed. We do have some Hebrew testers, so we
get some RTL testing, and we do have an Arabic translator. But, as Scott
said, we could definitely use more testing of RTL.

Welcome, Mohamed!
Is any of your LyX work in Arabic? I just ask because RTL
languages are
an area where LyX does not get a lot of testing.
As Riki said, I would say start with whatever interests you. For me I
think it was documentation just because it was a comfortable area to
contribute in.
