Hello. I am the Arabic translator that translated AUR :) Thanks for adding the Arabic trasnalation. I just want to say that there are many strings that needs to be split, for example verbs and nouns are in one string. I'll see how can I do that and I'll file a patch. ;)
Are you saying that the Arabic translation needs to be fixed or that there are strings that cannot be translated as-is? In the latter case, could you please elaborate (I don't know anything about the Arabic language)?
For now, "~%d days left" needs to be plural.
Yeah, good catch, we should use _n() here.
Anther thing is that Arabic is a RTL language, and the layout should flip. I'll see also what to do with this when I file the first patch. :)
Note that we had support for RTL languages a while ago, see 3d6c6cc (Support for langauges written right-to-left, 2011-02-15). It was probably disregarded when we switched to the archweb design. If you want to implement this, having a look at the previous implementation might be helpful. Regards, Lukas
