Problem Statement

Salam , I'm very interested in the project , And I have big intent to use it , But how can I translate it to Arabic = Is there a platform you use to translate the app!?

1. The project is not currently integrated with any i18n platforms like Weblate or Crowdin.
2. You may refer to PR Add German localization #145 for translation guidance. However, please note that this PR includes both i18n file modifications and code/documentation changes related to internationalization, which might be complex for non-developers. You can focus solely on translating the i18n files (located in /src/locales/), and I'll handle the remaining technical adjustments.
3. For languages like Arabic requiring RTL (right-to-left) support, additional optimizations will be needed as outlined in this article: Design Considerations for RTL Interfaces. This may involve significant extra work, and I can't guarantee full implementation at this stage.

Thanks for the response , I will look!

Also what about the feeds that are written in RTL languages!? Is this should be included in the translation or should be implemented from your side (the programming side), Because right now all my Arabic feeds it's not rendered correctly.

Perhaps this is not easy to solve, but please provide a feed for us to test.

To be honest, the current project has essentially halted the development of new features, and ensuring the proper display of RTL content requires considerable additional effort.

Apologies, but we simply don’t have the time or enthusiasm to support this work.

If it's just basic i18n, it remains within an acceptable scope.

[mwalid207]

No problem, Thanks a lot.

Well, I found some good news. If we simply add dir="rtl" to the main body of the article, it seems that the RTL content can be displayed correctly.

But I'm not sure how to activate it—whether it should be done automatically when the user sets the language to an RTL language, for all subscriptions regardless of whether they contain RTL content, or if it requires additional configuration.

If it's the latter, it feels like it would be quite troublesome.

I thought about it, and I feel combining both approaches would be great:

1. If the user sets the language to an RTL language, all articles should be displayed in RTL by default.
2. Provide an interactive button to switch between RTL and LTR at any time.

Also what about implementing something like the full reader view in Feedbin :) , It will be awesome.

This feature appears to be simple on the surface, but due to the fact that it was not considered during the previous design, the current layout makes modifications very difficult. Moreover, this issue is not directly related to your current issue.

If you wish to support Arabic and partially support RTL, please provide the relevant i18n files, and I will complete the remaining part.
