New Language Request
"Language and Region"
Summary:
The application does not support the Arabic language within the "Account Preferences" section, specifically under "Language and Region." This limitation affects a significant demographic of users who are Arabic speakers, leading to a lack of accessibility and convenience in using the application.
Steps to Reproduce:
- Log in to the application.
- Navigate to "Account Preferences."
- Click on "Language and Region."
- Observe that Arabic is not listed as a language option.
Expected Result:
The Arabic language should be available as an option in the "Language and Region" settings, allowing Arabic-speaking users to select it for a localized experience.
Actual Result:
Arabic is absent from the language options, restricting the functionality for Arabic speakers.
Impact:
With over 465 million native Arabic speakers globally, and more than 500 million when including second-language speakers, the omission of Arabic language support limits accessibility for a large user base. This can lead to decreased user engagement and satisfaction.
Suggested Priority:
High - Given the large number of users affected and the impact on usability, this issue should be addressed promptly.
Additional Notes:
Consider implementing Arabic language support to enhance user experience and inclusivity. This aligns with best practices in user interface design by catering to diverse linguistic communities.
