@mixirving, thanks! We will be checking it during next week :)

@waelalsaad, I think new translations are not automatically propagated to the live site - they need to be manually copied every now and then..

@mixirving, I couldn't log-in using the credentials you gave, but looking at the Arabic comments you copied RTL suport seems working fine (punctuation is well positioned).. However, Arabic text needs to be aligned to the right as well.

@waelalsaad thanks for telling us about yourself, that's really humbling.

I'll deploy the translations you've done done now. If you want to understand our process check out this description here : https://github.com/loomio/loomio/wiki/Translation#how-to-get-translations-up-on-loomioorg

I hope that answers your question.


@ammarhalabi thanks for checking that out. I'll see if I can fix styling and get that up for testing

There is an issue at transifex using Mobile browser (I've tried on android browser, CM, firefox) : this page is not loaded completely. User can't scroll down:
https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/loomio-1/translate/#ar/github-linked-version/30647120

another issue: Arabic still doesn't appear in the language options list on loomio.

Hi @waelalsaad , sorry it's taken so long to reply - I've been traveling for the last month (and have only been watching at-mentions).

Unfortunately, we have no control over how Transifex works. If you're still interested in having that fixed you could try lodging a bug report with them at their site

With regard to Arabic not being selectable - we typically wait until the Main translation reaches 80% before making a language selectable. You can access Arabic by adding ?locale=ar to addresses, e.g. https://www.loomio.org/d/ur3wmsCv/arabic?locale=ar should show you the arabic version of this page.
The reason we don't wait till 80% is that the parts not yet translated will display in English, and this could be a confusing and off-putting experience users.

If you would like to disagree with this perspective I am we are happy to discuss it and experiment with enabling Arabic earlier than usual.
