[Wikidata-bugs] [Maniphest] [Commented On] T211198: Wrong separation between the first letter and the word in Arabic Wikidata descriptions on Mobile version
Bassem added a comment. @Jdlrobson in Arabic Language our words are formed of connected letters, the problem is that the 1st letter of the ar description appears separated. in the case of the Apple article description, the 1st word (on the right) should appear as: ثمرة where the letter ث is connected to the rest of the word, yet it doesn't appear so, and it seems to be a single letter at first then comes the rest of the word.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T211198EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: BassemCc: Bassem, Jdlrobson, Volker_E, ovasileva, alanajjar, Aklapper, Nandana, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Winter, _jensen, D3r1ck01, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Mbch331___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Bassem added a comment. Said Akl was a Radical Christian who supported the Idea of Radical Christian Militias (you can say the ISIS of the Arab Christians back then) that said Lebanese people were not Arabs, and that they spoke "Lebanese" which was heavily refused by the General Public. Those who still believed in this were the most extremists of these previous christian Militias.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187344EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: BassemCc: 1339861mzb, thiemowmde, Arrbee, KartikMistry, Jsahleen, jhsoby, Petar.petkovic, santhosh, Mbch331, Bassem, Ibrahim.ID, FShbib, ASammour, Jar, Meno25, TerraCodes, Jay8g, Liuxinyu970226, Nikerabbit, Amire80, GerardM, satdeep_gill, millosh, Baba_Tabita, Aklapper, alanajjar, Csisc, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Jayprakash12345, QZanden, LawExplorer, Soum213, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, Luke081515, Wikidata-bugs, Snowolf, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs

Bassem added a comment. Not true. I'm Lebanese and these so called "efforts" in Lebanon were done by some Christian militias during the Civil war cause they believed that being "Arab" = being "Muslim". These ideas were abandoned after the civil war ended in 1990 and the only people who kept talking about them were radicals. The official language of Lebanon and the Lebanese is Arabic as the constitution says. You are talking as if literal Arabic is not understood in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, like we are writing in what? Classical Medieval Arabic! That's nonsense, and form of Arabic in the Maghrib are Accents and dialects, if some or even all Arabs felt they are harder to understand, its not like they'll have to "learn" it, give them some time and its will be understandable, as for the Maghrabi users, you make it sound like they'll never understand or adapt to Arabic Wikipedia, like they are learning and alien language. I'm totally against this, what you are saying is unconvincing at all.TASK DETAILhttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T187344EMAIL PREFERENCEShttps://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/To: BassemCc: 1339861mzb, thiemowmde, Arrbee, KartikMistry, Jsahleen, jhsoby, Petar.petkovic, santhosh, Mbch331, Bassem, Ibrahim.ID, Helmoony, FShbib, ASammour, Jar, Meno25, TerraCodes, Jay8g, Liuxinyu970226, Nikerabbit, Amire80, GerardM, satdeep_gill, millosh, Baba_Tabita, Aklapper, alanajjar, Csisc, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, Jayprakash12345, QZanden, LawExplorer, Soum213, Srdjan_m, MuhammadShuaib, LNDDYL, Psychoslave, Luke081515, Wikidata-bugs, Snowolf, aude, Gryllida, Shizhao___ Wikidata-bugs mailing list Wikidata-bugs@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikidata-bugs
